Come celebrate one of the most talked about highlights of the summer! Join the Arcadia Recreation and Community Services Department for an adult excursion to this fantastic annual event in Laguna Beach on Friday, Aug. 19.

The history of art is filled with stories of solitary artists abandoning society to pursue their creative expression. The 2016 Pageant of the Masters sets out in search of stories of compelling collaborations that led to the creation of unforgettable artworks in this summer’s presentation of “Partners.”

Filled with provocative and passionate tales of some of art’s dynamic duos – artists and patrons, models, muses, even dance partners!

Be sure to bring someone special with you, as “Partners” pulls back the curtain to reveal the significant others without whom the creation of great masterpieces might not have been possible. Sometimes, two is the magic number!

As a Pageant patron, you will be admitted to The Festival of Arts – California’s Premier Fine Art Show, absolutely free all summer long! Simply show your Pageant ticket at the Festival’s front gate. You will enjoy stunning artwork, hands-on demonstrations, wine tasting, and much more. Come back again and again.

The trip fee of $65 includes pageant admission, round trip transportation in an air conditioned coach bus, and snacks. Tickets are non-refundable. Please arrive at 5 p.m., the bus leaves promptly at 5:30 p.m. from the Arcadia Community Center (365 Campus Drive) and returns at midnight!

For more questions, please contact the Recreation Office at (626) 574-5113.
