The Catalina Island Conservancy is thrilled to announce that the 5th Annual Catalina: The Wild Side Art Show and Sale will be returning to the Newport Harbor Yacht Club on Sunday, October 25.

Since its inception in 2011 the Catalina: The Wild Side Art Show and Sale has become one of the Conservancy’s most anticipated events of the year. This year’s show will feature eight renowned names from the world of plein air art: John Cosby, Andy Evansen, Kim Lordier, Joe Paquet, Jesse Powell, Ron Rencher, Brian Stewart and Matt Smith.

Proceeds from the Catalina: The Wild Side Art Show and Sale will go to benefit the Catalina Island Conservancy and will be used to support the permanent collection of plein air art that documents the Conservancy’s conservation efforts and progress in habitat restoration. The paintings also bring attention to the Island’s amazing backcountry.

New this year is an opportunity for attendees to purchase Priority Admission, which allows guests to enter the event an hour before the doors open to the general public. Guests will be able to purchase art during this time. Tickets can be reserved online at www.catalinaconservancy.org/wildsideartshow.
