24 ARTISTS. 24 DRAGONFLIES. 24 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT VISIONS.
This might be one of our favorite parts of Dinner Under the Stars!
We invited artists to create 24 original dragonfly-themed works of art, each in their own preferred medium.
Pottery. •. Illustration •. Painting •. Textile •. Stained Glass…and more!
The result? 24 one-of-a-kind pieces, each showing what the dragonfly means through the unique eyes and artistic voice of the creator.
And the best part? They’ll all be available in our auction at Dinner Under the Stars!
Twenty-four artists. Twenty-four interpretations. One incredible collection celebrating SoCCA’s 10th Anniversary. Which one will YOU take home?

And remember—this isn’t just dinner. It’s an evening celebrating 10 Years of Art, Heart & Community while supporting everything SoCCA does throughout the year.

🎨🏺 ArtVanGo! is on the move! 💙

And this was JUST the month of August! Regina brought the joy of Paint Your Own Pottery to residents at The Orchards, Mulberry Gardens, Lincoln Lewis Terrace, and West Grove—and what a blast they’ve had! From choosing their pieces to adding their own creative touches, residents enjoyed every minute of getting to make something uniquely theirs.

And the best part? We kept hearing, “When are you coming back?!” 🥰

THIS is what ArtVanGo! is all about. Bringing creativity, connection, and a whole lot of fun directly into the community—making art accessible to everyone, wherever they are. ❤️🎨

🐋 ArtVanGo! was back at DePaolo Middle School for another creative afternoon with Bread for Life's Summer Lunch Program!

This time, participants created their own adorable air-dry clay whales, each one full of personality and unique artistic touches. From big smiles to colorful details, every whale was one of a kind!

Thank you to Bread for Life for partnering with ArtVanGo! to bring hands-on art experiences to the Summer Lunch Program. We always enjoy sharing the joy of creativity with your participants!
