The Collection
The year 2013 marks the 37th anniversary of the Festival of Arts. The Board hopes you appreciate the quality of the art in our permanent collection and the public art pieces.
Spirit of the West
From 1977 through 1996, the Festival named a Spirit of the West who was invited to come to San Dimas for recognition and to receive a special award of a beautiful bronze by artist Richard A. Myer. The Festival commissioned an artist to create a portrait of the honoree, which is on display at the San Dimas City Hall as part of the Festival’s Art Collection. More details...
