The Claremont Museum of Art will host the 11th annual Padua Hills Art Fiesta on Sunday, November 2 with an outdoor art show, art and craft demonstrations, music and more. This year’s exhibition will feature original Fiesta artist John Svenson.

Some local residents still recall the popular Art Fiesta held through the 1950s. Since 2011, the CMA has continued the tradition with Claremont area artists showing their work under the shady olive trees of the beautifully restored Padua Hills Theatre. 

The event will take place on Sunday, November 2, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Padua Hills Theatre, 4467 Padua Ave. Admission is $8 for adults; $6 for CMA members. Children under 18 are free.

Over 20 area artists will display and sell their paintings, ceramics, glass, sculpture, textiles and jewelry. Many favorite artists will return, along with new faces like Sandy Garcia, Sherry Marger, Luis Ramirez, Tom Skelley, Wendy Smith, Jeanne Steffan, Alan Swartz, Barry Vantiger and Susan Zenger.
