CAC Artists Celebrate The Ring Cycle

CAC Signature Artist, Artist, Sculptor, Mentor Program and Associate Artist Members

The CAC is among 50 cultural institutions that have joined forces with the Los Angeles Opera to create a major city-wide cultural festival. This event will be the largest produced in the city since the 1984 Olympics. The month-long program (May 29 - June 26, 2010) will attract thousands of visitors from around the world who
will experience LA's wealth of arts and culture.

In celebration of the California Art Club's partnership with the Los Angeles Opera and Ring Festival LA, we invite you to submit paintings and sculptures representing Richard Wagner's epic four operas of Norse medieval folklore that make up the "Ring." Subjects can include forest scenes, the river Rhine, the Alps, visions of Valhalla (the Norse
idea of heaven), and scenes and characters from the operas. Use your imagination!

Mirrors of the Soul is a multi-media event that integrates live orchestral performances of passionate music by classic & contemporary composers, readings of classic and contemporary poetry & literature, and the presentation of contemporary fine art.
