Dear Friends, As fall welcomes the season of gathering and celebrating, we hope you will find time to make the best of it at the Irvine Fine Arts Center. Check out Page 11 for a listing of seasonal art and culinary camps to inspire youth in their visual arts and food skills. For adults, check out the Cloisonné Enamel class highlighted on Page 13 to learn more about this ancient metalwork technique. Join us in celebrating this year's All Media exhibition award recipients. A recap of the annual event can be viewed online at irvinefinearts.org/exhibitions . Our new fall exhibitions, Revision and Into the Garden , will open on November 8. If you are unable to attend, be sure to plan time to experience these shows through the holiday season. Holiday Faire returns to the Great Park with a day of shopping and art on Saturday, November 4, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Save the date and enjoy the atmosphere, shop local artists for a unique, handmade gift, and welcome the season’s festivities. New to the City’s holiday festivities is another opportunity for a curated shopping experience, the Holiday Market, Saturday, December 2, 3–7 p.m. and Sunday, December 3, 10 a.m.–2 p.m. in Hangar 244 at the Great Park. You will not want to miss out on the launch of this fantastic new event. While visiting the Great Park, make a stop at the Great Park Gallery to see Dorothea Lange: California , on view through December 31. Art at City Hall will feature the exhibition, Paul Gardner: A Retrospective from December 11, 2023 to March 29, 2024. An instructor of drawing and painting, Paul Gardner taught adults and youth at the Irvine Fine Arts Center from 2004 to 2022. It is in his great memory that we are able to share his artwork with the larger Irvine community.
Creatively yours,
