CAMARILLO, Calif. - s4story -- Studio Channel Islands (SCIART), Ventura County's preeminent arts-centric nonprofit organization that brings together artists and community for extraordinary encounters that enrich, educate, and entertain, today announced tickets are now on sale for its annual signature fundraiser, Art Bash 2026, on Sept. 20, 2026. Tickets can be purchased at https://studiochannelislands.org/artbash-2026.

Now in its 14th year, Art Bash consists of three elements:  the free-to attend Celebration of Creativity from 2:00 – 6:00 p.m.; Cocktails in the Garden from 4:00 – 6:00 p.m.; and the black-tie Dinner in the Gallery from 6:00 – 10:00 p.m.

Celebration of Creativity:  Celebration of Creativity, from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m., is Art Bash's no-cost, no-obligation component. During this timeframe, visitors can explore the fascinating poetry sculptures in the heart of the SCIART campus, and experience the Penrose Strings musical petting zoo with a variety of classical instruments to test and play. They can also hear artist-in-residence Billy Tobenkin lead small ensembles in music recitals and workshops, and attend Hummingbird Conservatory's series of short vocal performances and singing classes. Visitors may listen to SCIART's summer poetry program participants read and discuss their new rhymes, drop in on dance classes hosted by Nartan Dance, and take art-making classes for children in the Education Room. In a brand-new addition to Art Bash this year, guests can walk through The Hole Point, a pop-up "art-cade" comprised of fun, interactive, carnival-style games that whimsically combine art with skill, amusement and entertainment.
