Enjoy beautiful art and support a good cause at “Visions of the Gaviota Coast,” the\u00a0Sixth Annual SCAPE Art Benefit for Gaviota Coast Conservancy and Naples Coalition<\/a>. Held at\u00a0the Ritz-Carlton Bacara Resort and Spa<\/a> (8301 Hollister Ave., Goleta), the art sale goes from Friday, March 30 at 2 p.m. through Saturday, March 31 at 5 p.m. The two-day exhibit features a reception on Friday (5-8 p.m.) with live music, silent auction, appetizers and wine with donation.<\/p>\n

More than 150 Southern California Artists Painting for the Environment (SCAPE) artists and fine art photographer Reeve Woolpert<\/a> will participate in this benefit art exhibition showcasing the stunning Gaviota Coast. Painter and exhibit juror Richard Schloss<\/a> has many years of collaboration with the renowned Oak Group<\/a> artists. The funds raised will assist Gaviota Coast Conservancy and the Naples Coalition in continuing their successful efforts to protect this majestic 72 miles of open coastline, providing a pristine habitat for over 1,400 species, including the endangered snowy plover. Forty percent of all art sales will benefit the two nonprofit organizations.<\/p>\n

Gaviota Coast Conservancy and Naples Coalition have recently achieved big victories towards the protection and preservation of the Gaviota Coast.\u00a0Ritz-Carlton Bacara Resort and Spa<\/a> is hosting the event, and donating an overnight stay and spa treatment for the raffle (no need to be present to win). \u201cWe consider it an honor to call the Gaviota Coast our home,\u201d says Shashi Poudyal, general manager. \u201cBacara will continue to partner with the Gaviota Coast Conservancy to be a great steward of this land.\u201d<\/p>\n
