Preparations Underway for Rotary Event
March 2, 2019 - Planning is underway for the 15th Annual Mariposa Yosemite Rotary Art & Wine Festival, which has been re-branded this year as the Art, Wine & Wheels event. The event will be held on the Courthouse lawn on Saturday, May 25th, Memorial Day Weekend and will feature local and regional wines, area artists and classic cars. Food from local eateries also will be available.
Organized in cooperation with the Mariposa Arts Council, the Art, Wine & Wheels event continues to be one of the biggest community events of the early summer. Held from 11 am until 5 pm, the day promises to be a fun gathering for residents and visitors. Music for the event will once again be provided by the Blue Skies Trio.
In one of the most popular activities at the 2018 event, participants were able to vote for their favorite classic, antique or collectable car displayed at the event. As a result, the Club determined to add back the “wheels” in the name, and to feature the “People’s Choice” award for the most popular car.
Attendance at the event is free. Attendees may purchase a glass and tickets for the wine tasting, may stroll around listening to the light jazz of the Blue Skies Trio, purchase artwork from the artists themselves, and vote for their favorite car at the car show.
The Mariposa-Yosemite Rotary Club is currently seeking promotional artwork for the printed materials for this year’s festival. The artist must be able to provide the artwork in a digital format for publishing in a portrait orientation. Artists may submit any artwork that focuses on the themes of art, wine, Mariposa history, local scenery, flora, fauna, antique cars or the Mariposa community.
In order to enter the competition, provide a 5×7 (or greater) photo of the proposed artwork, which can be submitted via email to Artwinewheels@mariposarotary.org or via mail to Mariposa Yosemite Rotary Club, P.O. Box 334, Mariposa, CA 95338.
Submissions are due by Friday, March 15.
