Final Soiree
  

Soiree #9 Starts at the Golden Hour Oct 26

We are at capacity.

Our studio/home is perched along a private canyon road with a commanding view of the valley below. It embodies serenity and seclusion, providing the perfect backdrop for our artistic endeavors and the art-centric events we host.

The golden hour provides a portal to enjoy an evening with our artist friends and their mates. Food, fashion, music, and Art are in attendance. So is an evening full of live performances under the stars in Cinnabar Canyon.

Our studio and sanctuary have always been a hub for inspiration and a gathering place for professional creatives. The final soirée is a goodbye and a tribute to our shared journey. It’s a celebration of the friendships that have been a part of our artistic journey in the valley.

Expect an evening filled with our art displayed in our studios and outdoor gardens. A selection of new works and unique pieces highlights our collective creativity’s evolution.
