ARTVENTURE 2016 at SOCO and The OC Mix

You’re invited to the City of Costa Mesa’s second annual juried exhibition of art, ARTventure, the weekend of November 11-13 at Cisco Home and Design Within Reach at SOCO in Costa Mesa. ARTventure will be a fusion of the arts and entertainment, showcasing the work of local Southern California artists. The artwork will be displayed in both the Cisco Home and Design Within Reach state-of-the-art designer showrooms. The unique artistic environment will pair artwork with furniture, fixtures and interior design elements, as well as with live entertainment featuring musical, theatrical, literary, and culinary forms. ARTVenture at SOCO will truly highlight why Costa Mesa is known as the “City of the Arts.”

The City of Costa Mesa’s Cultural Arts Committee is currently scouting southern California for artwork to showcase at this unique event. Artists have until October 3 to submit up to 3 pieces of artwork. Submissions may include a variety of media, including oil, watercolor and acrylic paintings, graphite drawings, metal sculpture, pottery, photography, fiber art, mixed media as well as literary art. Artwork will be screened and selected for the exhibit, and a collection of winners will be awarded. Whether you’re an artist yourself or a patron of the arts, all creative minds are welcome.
