The A List Members' Choice event at the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library in La Jolla encourages members to let their voices be heard. On August 16th, members are invited to select their favorite entry in the Athenaeum's 16th Annual Juried Exhibition. Although Juror Arthur Ollman will select the first, second, and third place winners, this year, for the first time, an A List Member's Choice Award will also be presented. In addition to the award, the Athenaeum will purchase the winning entry for its permanent collection.
The Athenaeum's Annual Juried Exhibition features a wide range of artists and styles, and is one of the most sought-after exhibitions in the region. A majority of the artists selected have become prominent members of the art community.
Also by A List members' choice, the singer and songwriter Randi Driscoll will return after receiving raves at an A List event last year. Randi, is a San Diego based performer who has opened for such performers as Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Hornsby, Pat Benatar, Linda Ronstadt and Jackson Browne. She has performed at Lincoln Center in the "Bang on a Can" Festival, and the New York City Hall Pride Awards, and her music has been featured in film and television.
Nonmembers are also welcome to attend the A List Members' Choice event, but will be required to pay admission, and will not be permitted to vote. Those interested in becoming members can do so at www.ljathenaeum.org or by calling (858) 454-5872. Members and nonmembers alike are encouraged to arrive in their favorite award show attire.
