| The newly expanded and refurbished Athenaeum.
For this year’s gala, the Athenaeum will be transformed into a Caribbean paradise bursting with original artwork and décor designed by our resident artists, sumptuous food, and imaginative costumes. Themed entertainment will be offered throughout the evening, along with dinner, a silent auction, opportunity drawing, and costume parade. All proceeds support the Athenaeum, a unique cultural gem in San Diego.
The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library's book and craft sale has been a special event for years. It is always exciting to see buyers lined up on the sidewalk, some waiting with boxes in hand, eager to make a find. Why don't you join them? Why don't you join them? Maybe you'll find that current hardback novel everyone has been talking about or that rare art book. Or stop by the Portico to purchase alovey card, ring or wooden bowl from one of our artisans.
Student work created in the various School of the Arts classes during 2008 will be on display and for sale at the San Diego/Park Blvd Studio from Monday, December 8 –Thursday, December 18 from 10 AM – 3 PM. Enjoy the variety and quality of art ranging from portraits, still-lives, and landscapes to Chinese Brush paintings, sculptures and mixed media collages. Students are invited to participate with one artwork per person. Drop-off is on Tuesday and Wednesday, Dec. 2 and 3, from 9AM – 3PM. Pick-up is on Thursday, Dec. 18, from 9 AM – 3 PM, both at the San Diego/Park Blvd. Studio.
The Executive Director and Board of Trustees cordially invite all members of the Athenaeum to the Athenaeum Members’ Holiday Party with festive Music and refreshments.
