A painting by each of the participating artists will be on display and available to the public for purchase. We will be judging the 50 original artworks and presenting awards and recognitions. Everyone has the opportunity to be an artist for the day by joining us at our scheduled workshops and demonstrations.

Schedule of Events
Printmaking Workshop: Printing Posies and Plants
10 AM – 1 PM
Location: Amphitheater
Local artists Sheryl Seltzer and Carol Kreider will teach you to create your own art print inspired by the beautiful flowers and plants of the gardens. Guests will draw and transfer to a small relief plate as the instructors ink the plate and the guests “pull” their own print! This is a rewarding art project for all skills and ages. Instructor Sheryl Seltzer has a studio in Laguna Beach and teaches at Concordia University.
Awards Ceremony
12:00 PM
Location: Outdoor Living
Ten awards of excellence will be presented to the 50 participating artists. These artists will be recognized for their outstanding inspirations and interpretations of Roger’s Gardens through their artworks. The judge is Gil Dellinger, a retired professor of art of the University of the Pacific, Signature Member of The Pastel Society of America, California Art Club, and PAPA, Plein Air Painters of America.

Learn to draw leaves, flowers, and a few drawing secrets from perspectives of botanical art instructors Deborah Shaw, Clara Josephs, and Diane Daly.
