Art enthusiasts still have the chance to appreciate local art—with modifications to allow for safety and social distancing.
Hilary Heart will host a new Pop Flowers Collection at Brophy Art Gallery’s inaugural live pop-up art show. Be the first to see Heart’s new live art exhibition series, as well as her geometric wood pieces. All original art pieces are available for purchase. The exhibit will be held outdoors (to stay in line with social distancing regulations).
The event is scheduled for 4-10 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 22, and is open to the public and free. Everyone who registers in advance will receive a free art sticker. You must register to get the sticker. Brophy Art Gallery is located at 139 Avenida Granada in San Clemente. For more information, call 949.678.8133 or visit brophyartacademy.com.
