19th ANNUAL MOTHER’S DAY WEEKEND ART & GARDEN TOUR

Encinitas, CA (May 1, 2013) San Dieguito Art Guild is pleased to announce that its 19th Annual Mother’s Day Weekend Art & Garden Tour will be held on Saturday and Sunday, May 11 and 12, 2013, from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

This year’s self-guided tour of seven unique gardens meanders through the back roads of eastern Encinitas, historic Olivenhain and the eucalyptus-lined roads of Rancho Santa Fe.  This year’s gardens are easily accessible in a day but many visitors choose to take both days to complete the tour.

Each elegant private garden will feature several San Dieguito Art Guild members who will have their artwork on display and for sale. All art pieces are unique and priced directly from the artists and include paintings, original drawings, fine art photography, sculptures, unique glass, metal and gourd art, and one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry.

“Here’s a chance to skip the crowded restaurants and treat the favorite “moms” to a day of art and culture,” says Grace Swanson, Vice President of the Guild and participating artist.  “The Tour has become a North County tradition and offers a complete gift package.  You can explore beautiful gardens, see stunning art, and enjoy tasty treats at every stop…what more is there?” See what you will experience by viewing: http://youtu.be/VhCJST_x0lc.

“The Art and Garden Tour is an annual fundraiser that helps support the Guild’s operating expenses as well as art programs that benefit the community, such as the “Try It You’ll Like It” workshops,” says San Dieguito Art Guild President, Terry Allen. “We’re also excited to use a portion of the event’s proceeds to provide cash grants to under-served school art departments in our community.

Tickets are $20 per person and cover admission for both Saturday and Sunday and include a souvenir booklet and map with driving directions to each location.  Ticket holders can feel free to re-visit a favorite home or split their visits over the weekend.    Tickets may be purchased as of April 12, 2013 online at http://www.offtrackgallery.com or in person at the Off Track Gallery, 937 South Coast Highway 101, Suite C103, in the Lumberyard Shopping Center behind St. Tropez Bakery) in Encinitas, CA.
