CHILDREN'S ART AREA:
The La Jolla Art & Wine Festival has something for everyone ... including kids!  The Children’s Art Center will highlight artwork from the three public elementary schools in our community and provide children of all ages the opportunity to do a hands-on art project.  La Jolla, Torrey Pines, and Bird Rock Elementary has commissioned a large mural, designed by each school’s art instructor and completed with the help of students.  These unique murals will be on display throughout the festival and raffled off to three lucky individuals (raffle tickets are 1 for $10 or 3 for $20).  In addition, student artwork will be on display in each school’s gallery space.  In our special “kids” art studio, children can choose to make a festive hat, create a Torrey pine blowing in the wind or simply doodle with colored pencils, pens, or sidewalk chalk.

BENEFICIARIES - ABOUT THE SCHOOLS:
Created by Friends of La Jolla Elementary, Inc as an extension of its popular and well-established Open Aire Market, this event will donate all its proceeds to under funded programs at three area public schools that are part of the financially troubled San Diego Unified School District: La Jolla Elementary, Torrey Pines Elementary, and Bird Rock Elementary. These critical programs include art, music, science, physical education, technology, and on-site medical care by a school nurse. For over ten years, the La Jolla Elementary School’s Open Aire Market has united the community each Sunday to enjoy a lively market featuring certified farmers, unique artisans, and local entertainment while supporting local education.
