- Time6:00 PM to 3:00 PM
Artists Larry and Sandra Ortega are pleased to announce the return of their annual Open Studio Sale and private Soiree event this fall at their home studio and gallery, located at 1844 E. Cinnabar Ave. in Sunnyslope. The Open Studio Sale begins Sunday, Oct. 27 at noon. This new body of work, S.O.L.O., will first be previewed at the Ortegas’ private Soiree #9 on Saturday, Oct. 26 at dusk.
This is the final year for these two exclusive events, which combine the celebration of food, fashion, music and art, as the Ortegas prepare for the next chapter in their lives.
“We have transformed our home into a sanctuary of art and we love the natural energy that has developed through our Soirees and Open Studio Sales. Through these experiences, it has been our great pleasure to host renowned artists, our friends and the vibrant community of art collectors in the valley,” says Larry Ortega, who presents these one-of-a-kind art-centric experiences with his wife Sandra. “This final Soiree is not just a goodbye but a tribute to our shared journey. It’s a celebration of the friendships that have been part of our studio’s journey.”
On Sunday, Oct. 27 at noon the Ortegas will open their home to art lovers and collectors for their 2024 S.O.L.O. Open Studio Sale. During this event, the public is invited to view and purchase Larry’s and Sandra’s works that are on display throughout their home art studio and gallery, Obliq Art.
Sandra is known for her ceramic sculptures and other mediums. Her artistic evolution from ceramics to new mediums offers an intimate glimpse into her creative psyche. Larry is a classically trained painter who transitioned to a self-taught sculptor. His sculptures represent his extraordinary ability to breathe life into static materials.
Both artists will unveil new works for this culminating experience. Though showcasing individual pieces, the Ortegas’ show “S.O.L.O.,” which stands for Sandra Ortega and Larry Ortega, represents their harmonious creative connection. Each of their works reflects and represents their individual journeys and shared exploration as partners in life and creativity.
All of the contemporary works of art from the Ortegas’ gallery walls and pedestals are available for purchase. The Ortegas pride their collections on being affordable to encourage art collection as a transformative power that is good for the soul.
Through their many previous Open Studio Sale and Soirees, the Ortegas have enjoyed opening their home to welcome many of the valley’s most notable artists from the art community as well as enthusiastic art lovers and collectors. The popularity of these experiences serve as a testament to the Ortegas’ dedication to fostering a vibrant community of artists throughout the valley.
