Art Off the Walls, March 2015

Art Off the Walls, March 2015

Eileen Doktorski and Michael Craig Carrier, Curator 

On March 6th a spectacular celebration of Dorland’s Artists took place in the heart of Old Town Temecula, promoting the arts to a public audience of over 300. This multi-faceted event included an exhibition of seventeen artists, live music and a short story and poetry reading. Artists, musicians and writers filled the expansive, raw space of the Traux Building’s main floor. The inspired idea came from Michael Craig Carrier, Dorland’s newest board member and was co-sponsored by the City of Temecula and Truax Building Corporation. It was part of the ‘Art off the Walls’ series organized by Gail Zigler, Director of Events and Recreation for the City of Temecula.

Dr. Lisa Sanchez, Dorland's former Literary Director, led a reading event showcasing published writers and representatives of the Wine Country Writers’ Group. Board member, Stephen Eldred played guitar, enriching the festive atmosphere of food, wine and shared community. Executive Director, Janice Cipriani-Willis, worked with Michael on the event. Board members, Noreen Ring, Linda Stewart and Eileen Doktorski and Dorland’s Office Intern, Ledda Barducci assisted on the visual display. The many others who participated and attended made it an outstanding and memorable evening of the Dorland Community.

Dorland's Associate Artists will exhibit their work at Temecula's February First Friday Art Gathering.
