 ART
TO GO
Back
by popular demand! Fallbrook Arts, Inc. presents “Art
to Go” on Saturday, May 12 from 4–7 p.m.
Arrive with ticket; depart with art... that is quite literally
Art to Go. Selections, which have a $150 minimum value,
range from painting, blown glass, and fine art prints to artisan
jewelry, sculpture, and fine woodwork. The fun comes into
play as guests draw a number to determine their ‘picking
order’ and vie to get their first choices… some
trying some good old-fashioned horse-trading while enjoying
refreshments from La Caseta Restaurant and musical entertainment.
Other event highlights are a silent auction, an opportunity
to meet some of the artists, and a live auction of works by
Gabriele Bitter, Ted Nuttall, Ron Pokrasso and Joseph Zbukvic.
Tickets are $135 and include entry for up to two guests (one
selection of art). Reservations can be made at Fallbrook Art
Center, 103 S. Main, Monday–Saturday 10 a.m.–4
p.m., and Sundau Noon–3 p.m. or online at www.fallbrookartsinc.org.
All proceeds benefit Fallbrook Arts, Inc., a nonprofit organization
dedicated to cultivating and sustaining the arts community
by supporting its five divisions, each with a distinct purpose
and mission: Fallbrook Art Center, Fallbrook School of the
Arts, Brandon Gallery, Art in Public Places, and Fallbrook
Arts Alliance.

The

The event is a fund-raising walk hosted by Church World Service

of the money raised at this event goes to help the world’s
hungry through Church World Service and 25% goes to help the
poor through the Fallbrook Food Pantry (www.fallbrookfoodpantry.org),
a non-profit organization that has worked for almost two decades
to provide local hunger relief to the unincorporated areas
of Fallbrook, Bonsall, Rainbow, De Luz and Pala. Participating
churches include Christ the King Lutheran (760-728-2007),
Community Baptist (760-728-2966), Fallbrook Apostolic (760-728-1717),
