The Santa Clarita Valley has always been an artistic hub—from the early days of the film industry, through the establishment of Disney’s Golden Oaks Ranch facility, the founding of the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), to the planned UCLA Film Archives. The residents have been equally supportive of the arts, supporting a ballet company, a symphony, numerous artists associations, the annual Cowboy Poetry and Music Festival, and the College of the Canyons Performing Arts Center. Between CalArts faculty, alumni and students, coupled with those residents in the entertainment industry and other independent artists, the Santa Clarita Valley boasts the highest concentration of artists per capita in the world.
The TPC/West Ranch Art and Wine Auction will be the premier event supporting the arts in the Santa Clarita Valley. Boasting some of the finest wines around and contributions from leading artists, many of whom have their roots in the Santa Clarita Valley, the event will offer attendees the opportunity to bid on many one of a kind wine and art items. These include original paintings, drawings and sculptures from established Disney and fine artists. Attendees will also enjoy fabulous food and wine from the award-winning chef of the Tournament Players Club.
In our inaugural year, all proceeds will go to benefit the Joe Ranft/Alumni Scholarship Fund at California Institute of the Arts. For future events we plan to expand the beneficiaries to include other arts organizations in SCV.
