SaddleBrooke Ranch Residents Celebrate Art

Creativity thrives at SaddleBrooke Ranch, where residents of all ages embrace new ways to express themselves. From painting to mixed media, the community offers opportunities to connect, learn, and celebrate artistic talent. SaddleBrooke Ranch residents celebrate art at the SBR Art Club Summer Social and Member Art Showcase. The event brought together artists of all skill levels to share their work, connect with fellow creatives, and enjoy the joy of self-expression. Many participants were delighted by the positive feedback they received.

The Summer Social and Member Art Showcase

The SBR Art Club board organized the first Summer Social and Member Art Showcase, welcoming artists of all skill levels to present their work. A total of 22 artists participated, showcasing a diverse range of styles and media. The event provided a supportive environment for residents to display their artwork, exchange ideas, and explore new artistic techniques—many of which can be further developed through SBR Art Club classes or independent study.

Sweet Treats and Social Fun

To make the event even more enjoyable, the board offered ice cream from Licks Ice Cream in Catalina and a selection of refreshing beverages. The combination of art and social connection made this gathering a memorable experience for attendees. Based on positive feedback, many artists are eager to participate again, and the board is considering hosting another art showcase in late fall or early winter.

A Space for Creativity and Connection

At the SBR Art Club, residents of all experience levels find a space to explore their creativity and connect with others. Sharing art is more than just showcasing talent—it’s a meaningful way to inspire, connect, and enrich lives, including your own.
