RANCHO MURIETA, CA (MPG) - The Kiwanis Club of Rancho Murieta is hosting a unique fine arts fundraiser from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, July 20 at The Villas Clubhouse. Proceeds will benefit both the Kiwanis Club and the Sacramento Symphonic Winds.

The event will feature original works by celebrated Berkeley artist Debbie Vinograd, who spent more than 40 years exploring a variety of painting styles inspired by artists such as Van Gogh, Mark Rothko and Leonora Carrington.

Now transitioning into assisted living and no longer painting, Vinograd hopes to see her artwork find new homes in appreciative households. 

She also takes great joy in knowing that her art will support the meaningful efforts of Kiwanis and the Sacramento Symphonic Winds, which provides quality musical experiences and supports local musicians.

Rancho Murieta residents who attend the fundraiser will receive a piece of Vinograd’s artwork in exchange for a donation, typically between $10 and $20. 

Complimentary treats will be provided by The Local Bean Café.
