Edith Santangelo

Art à la Mode is a gala event which celebrates the creative community of Studio Channel Islands and those who champion the arts in our county. Each year the Board of Director at Studio Channel Islands honor an individual who has given exceptional support to the organization with the Medici Award. The award is given to someone whose passion and commitment to the success of the organization is unparalleled and whose work deserves the highest recognition that we have to offer.

Studio Channel Islands is a place that inspires creativity and provides access to excellent art. As a learning community we welcome people of every age, ability and skill level to connect with artists and engage in art making, discussion and the exploration of ideas outside of our everyday lives.

Each year, we rely on the generosity of our supporters to help cover costs associated with our exhibitions, workshops, community outreach and public events. Your gift will be used to support our annual programs including:

  • World-class exhibitions featuring the work of hundreds of contemporary artists from around the world
  • Artist talks including speakers from around the Americas
  • Memory Cafes supporting people with memory loss and their care givers to enjoy the arts
  • Stroke Survivor art classes and memory care art classes
  • Concerts in the Gallery featuring international performing artists
  • Art after school classes and our spring and summer art camps
  • Gerd Koch Award for Excellence which supports exceptional students in our local universities
  • Films in the Gallery inviting award-winning directors to present their films
