Winter Solstice Judged Art Show

This Art Alliance of Idyllwild (AAI) judged art show was held at the Harvey House Friday, Dec. 8. It brought artists, volunteers, friends and family together to enjoy art, live music, a Secret Santa, a potluck and the holiday spirit. As well as an art show, the event also was an appreciation dinner for AAI’s members and volunteers. The dual talent of Paula King and Leslie Andre on their harps made the evening even more magical.
