Catalina Island's 50th Annual Festival of Art
Article dated: Monday, October 06, 2008
The 50th annual Catalina Island Festival of Art was held on the 21st and 22nd of September. The yearly event began days earlier as city workers began setting up the familiar artist's display boards along Crescent Avenue. Cross-channel boats arrived carrying the artists, many with works in tow, and the front street quickly became an outdoor gallery with Avalon Bay as the back-drop.
Robert Williams, an Avalon born painter now living on the mainland, won Best of Catalina. His painting of Crescent Avenue will be the cover of the 51st Festival of Art brochure. Todd Lechtic won first place for photography and John White finished first for mixed media. In the fine crafts category Mona and Alex Szabados took first place for their beautiful enamel jewelry pieces.
Meet all of the festival participants and view their work in eCatalina's streaming video. Catalina Art Association

Aurora Hotel

| As the doors open at the Aurora hotel, guests discover a sanctuary of style, where a sleek, modern look is tempered by a sense of whimsy. Inspired by Catalina's marine environment, Aurora's public areas and intimately-sized rooms offer a distinctive, contemporary atmosphere. Each of the 16 rooms and three suites have memory foam mattresses, flat screen televisions and custom amenities; many feature ocean views as does the inviting roof top deck. Located just half a block from the beach and all that Avalon has to offer, Aurora is the perfect haven to get away from it all without leaving your sense of style behind. Part of The Avalon Hotels family of properties. 137 Marilla Avenue - (310) 510-0454 |
