Laguna College of Art & Design will host its 22nd annual Collector’s Choice fine art event and auction at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 4, on the campus at 2222 Laguna Canyon Road. The festive summer evening includes a fine art raffle, silent and live auctions, dinner by Sundried Tomato and commemorative wine provided by Laguna Culinary Arts.

Collector’s Choice features a large variety of fine artwork generously contributed by local and regional professional artists. Original paintings and drawings in a variety of media, as well as sculptures and hand blown glass are just a few examples of the artwork available from notable artists, many of whom will be in attendance the night of the event. Jim Nye, the “benefit auction guy,” will be the auction emcee.

Festival of Arts exhibitor Mark Jacobucci contributed this work to this year’s auction.
