Art for a Cause Brings Internationally Acclaimed Fine Art to the University Club of San Diego An unforgettable evening awaits as The Wilshire Foundation, in partnership with the University Club of San Diego—one of the city’s most prestigious, invitation-only private clubs—hosts an exclusive fine art exhibition and fundraising evening on Friday, January 30, from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Perched high above the city with sweeping panoramic views, the University Club provides an exceptional and refined setting for this rare West Coast presentation of internationally acclaimed, award-winning works previously exhibited in New York and London. The private-club atmosphere offers guests an intimate and elevated experience designed for thoughtful engagement with art. The curated collection features contemporary and modern works created in acrylic and resin on canvas, where meticulous realism converges with atmospheric abstraction. Many pieces emerge gently from layered veils of translucency—soft washes of pigment, mist, and light—revealing compositions that feel both timeless and quietly powerful. Muted palettes are enriched with subtle vibrancy, creating an immersive quality that balances serenity with depth. The works convey a sense of stillness and introspection, offering art that whispers to the soul through refined detail, haunting beauty, and contemplative restraint. Guests will enjoy light hors d’oeuvres, inspired conversation, and a cashless bar (credit card only) within the elegant, members-only environment. Select works will be available for acquisition, with all proceeds benefiting the Wilshire Foundation’s philanthropic initiatives, supporting cultural enrichment and community impact through the arts. Hosted by the University Club of San Diego and the Wilshire Foundation, the evening reflects a shared commitment to excellence, cultural stewardship, and purposeful philanthropy. More information about the featured artist and collection is available at wilshireartgallery.com.

Alison Brown doesn't play the banjo. Alison Brown plays music on the banjo. Acoustic instrumental music has never been so beautifully represented as by Alison Brown. As one of the most multi-faceted minds on today’s roots music scene, every one of Alison’s endeavors is marked by innovation, intelligence, and grace. As a banjo player, she throws out the textbook when it comes playing the banjo and the result is a sound that blends the rugged drive of bluegrass with the harmonic sensibilities of jazz, earning vast acclaim and a GRAMMY award in the process.
