The Ilan-Lael Foundation is opening its doors wider than ever with newly expanded docent-led tours, now offered every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 10 a.m. Previously available only during limited seasonal windows, the tours – now running through the end of the year –provide more access into the imaginative world of the late artist James Hubbell. Set on 10 acres of oak woodlands near Julian, the Ilan-Lael compound features Hubbell’s hand-crafted living spaces, studios, galleries, and gardens, each built in harmony with nature and infused with his blend of art, architecture, and craft. While Hubbell’s work can be seen throughout Southern California and Baja, Ilan-Lael remains the most immersive place to experience his vision. “James believed art should live in harmony with nature, and Ilan-Lael is where that belief comes to life. By opening our doors more often, we’re honoring his vision and inviting more people to share in it,” shares Marianne Gerdes, Executive Director of the Ilan-Lael Foundation. “We invite everyone, whether long-time admirers or first-time visitors, to come see what makes Ilan-Lael so extraordinary. There is truly nothing else like it.” Tours last approximately 90 minutes and take small groups through gardens, sculptures, and architectural landmarks, offering intimate insight into Hubbell’s creative process. Each small-group experience concludes at the on-site gallery and gift shop featuring Hubbell art, books, and artisan goods. Tours are $90 per person and can be reserved up to two months in advance at ilanlaelfoundation.org. Reservations are required and availability may shift due to private events.
