SMALL WORKS big impact

I’m excited to be part of a special fundraising event for the Ojai Studio Artists, taking place at the blanchesylvia gallery here in Ojai, California. This promises to be a vibrant celebration of our creative community, with 38 original works generously donated by OSA artists—each piece a small but powerful expression of what makes this group so unique.

What makes this event especially fun is the format: every artwork will be raffled, giving collectors and supporters the chance to take home an original piece at an accessible price point. It’s a wonderful way to engage with local art, whether you’re a longtime collector or just beginning your journey.

The exhibition will be on view leading up to the big night, culminating in the raffle drawing on April 19th at 6 PM. There’s something about the anticipation of the draw—the energy in the room, the sense of possibility—that makes this more than just an art event. It becomes a shared experience.

All proceeds support the Ojai Studio Artists, helping fund scholarships, mentorships, and programs that keep our local arts community thriving. If you’re nearby, I hope you’ll come by, see the work in person, and join in the excitement. And if you’re farther away, there are still ways to participate and be part of it.
