Transportation departs Studio Channel Islands at 10 a.m., returning to SCI at 3 p.m. Nestled on 1,200 acres at the base of the Santa Monica Mountains, the picturesque campus, originally constructed in 1934 as part of President Roosevelt’s New Deal, is an example of California Mission and Spanish Revival architecture. From the iconic Bell Tower to the magnificent Broome Library, each renovated building merges the old with the new, leaving the most striking architectural and historical aspects intact. Structures originally designed to contain Camarillo State Hospital are now reinvented as open high-tech spaces for learning, research and gathering. Includes a no-host lunch in the Dining Commons and round-trip transportation provided from SCI. Tickets are $85 each and can be purchased online at http://studiochannelislands.org/events/a-season-of-art/ or call 805-383-1368.
