The Calistoga Art Center’s annual Calistoga house tour series begins this month and will feature private art collections and distinct architecture.
The tours will take place on the Saturdays of Aug. 31, Sept. 26 and Oct. 24 from 4 to 6 p.m. There are 40 tickets available for each of the three house tours. Individual tickets are $125 each and a bundle of all three tickets is $300. Proceeds will benefit the Calistoga Art Center.
Aug. 31: PINSKY HOUSE AND ART STUDIO
Walking into the Pinsky house is like walking into a contemporary art gallery. The crisp, modern architecture showcases Babette’s and Steven’s collection of glass sculptures, large scale paintings, photographs, and drawings. Babette will have her art studio open as well.
Wine sponsored by Lunasa Wines.
Sept. 28: MERCHANT HOUSE AND COTTAGE
