Log-In |

This residency took me away from the familiar, the known, and my usual “habits”. It also delivered me to a safe place to dwell, to find a more authentic involvement, a deeper level of engagement…. It’s not just about time, and it’s not just about the community of artists, rather it’s the historical weight and energy that makes this place what it is. The residency has provided the safe harbor to think and reflect, the space to conduct my research and execute work, and the positivity and support of an incredible staff to fuel my future.

Auction Date: October 19, 2008

Private Tour for Eight at Napa Valley Art Preserve

The famous di Rosa Preserve is located on over 200 scenic acres in the southern Napa Valley. Come to California's celebrated Wine Country for a private tour of the Preserve, which houses approximately 2200 works of art by more than 900 artists. The di Rosa Preserve celebrates the power and spirit of the art and artists of Northern California, and now you and seven guests can enjoy a private, behind-the-scenes tour of all that it has to offer.

Your private tour will include visits to the Gatehouse Gallery, the Main Gallery, the di Rosa Residence (a 125-year-old converted winery), the Courtyard, North Lawn, and Sculpture Meadow. Your tour will include a picnic lunch for eight, which you are invited to eat while relaxing in the beautiful olive grove, before or after taking in all of the art.

This item has been donated by di Rosa Preserve and Diane Frankel, and Djerassi is donating the proceeds of the auction item to the Alliance, as part of the Alliance's "Auction Partners" program. To find out more, or to become an Auction Partner, contact Russ Smith at rsmith@artistcommunities.org.
