The Catalina Island Conservancy’s Catalina: “The Wild Side” art show features paintings from nationally recognized plein air painters.

“The Wild Side Art Show and Sale” is celebrating its 10-year anniversary with a virtual exhibition that launched Sunday, October 25, 2020. More than 80 paintings that highlight Catalina Island’s wildlands, Avalon, and Two Harbors were created by 10 nationally-recognized plein air artists.

Art lovers are able to access high-res images and video introductions of each piece available for sale, all of which were created especially for this show.

“Moving to an online format has created the opportunity for a wider audience to view and appreciate the work of our artists than in years past,” said Victoria Seaver Dean, Conservancy board member and event chair. “We have had a great response so far, with more than half of our paintings finding new homes!”
