The Event
The event includes live music with performances all day featuring local songwriters and musicians. Visitors will also be able to observe plein air artists in the process of artistic creation. Artisans will be displaying a variety of art, such as paintings, jewelry, photography and metal sculptures. There will also be a silent auction (with an artistic focus) to benefit Dorland and students from Mt. San Jacinto College will paint a mural on the outside wall of Dorland’s office.
The popular Internet radio show, Chords and Vines, will be broadcast live from 2 to 3 p.m. at Dorland. This LA Talk Radio Show, featuring Joe Mullenix and Kat Ellis, visits a different Southern California venue each Sunday and pairs outstanding music with local wines. The featured musical guest will be Joe Gillaspie.
A special feature this year will be two site-specific art
installations. One, created by Michael Carrier, a Dorland Associate Artist and Board Member, is entitled “Dorland is an Enchanted Place,” honoring individuals who have helped rebuild the Colony after the 2004 fire that devastated Dorland. His sculpture, located in the shell of the former Lake House at Dorland, will be created from burnt wood, bits and pieces of leftover materials from the fire, acrylic, and neon and will be displayed during Art Under the Oaks and throughout the month of May.
Dorland opens its grounds to the public several times a year. This festival gives the community an opportunity to visit the beautiful artists retreat in the mountains. Visitors will be able to step into the cottages where artist residents stay and enjoy the natural beauty of this serene mountain setting with its majestic views of the mountains and valleys surrounding the site.
