Activities & Events in Idyllwild California
|
|
 From the informality of a Saturday Morning Art Café held in the
galleries to the two day Jazz in the Pines festival, Idyllwild has earned the distinction of
becoming one of the 100 Best Small Art Towns in America (as designated in the book of the same
name by John Villani, A John Muir publication).
With numerous galleries presenting the work of more than 200 artists, visitors will find seldom seen
art treasures in jewelry, furniture, glass, ceramics, paintings, photography, wood, weavings and
sculpture. The gallery association of the Art Alliance of Idyllwild makes sure that your will see
unique and individual work at every gallery space.
 The Art Alliance of Idyllwild schedules numerous visual art
events in the galleries and for its artist members. Major gallery openings and artist events are
on the first Saturday of the month from March through December. The Sunday Morning Art Café's
which present local artists in informal and educational demonstrations are popular with local
residents and visitors from May through September. The annual Art Walk and Wine Tasting turns the
village into an art festival with keepsake wine glasses, more than 28 wineries, horse drawn
carriages, entertainment and special exhibitions in every gallery.
Music, dance, and theatre in the pines is a weekly occurrence. Everything from the two day Jazz in the
Pines in August to a series of summer concerts in the park and the annual Messiah by the Master Chorale
provide opportunities to experience world class orchestras, soloists, jazz masters and local
musicians.
Community theatre groups and student productions in dance and theatre from the Idyllwild Arts Academy
to Idyllwild's own professional theatre company, Isis Theatre Company, are ongoing throughout the
year. |
