This one-of-a-kind holiday treasure could be yours! Bidding Ends December 4.
Featuring 24 mini masterpiece replicas personally hand painted by Pageant of the Masters Director Diane Challis Davy, the Pageant Christmas tree is on display at South Coast Plaza’s “Pavilion of Holiday Trees” and can be yours to take home for the holidays.
Diane re-created 24 iconic images from the book “Sister Wendy’s Story of Painting” to adorn the tree. You’ll recognize works by Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Edouard Manet and other master artists whose paintings have often been transformed into life-sized recreations in the Pageant.
The mini paintings and Christmas tree can all be yours by placing a bid in the online auction. But that’s not all! The winning bidder will also receive six tickets to the VIP night performance of next summer’s Pageant of the Masters AND a private behind-the-scenes tour during a Pageant rehearsal to meet the director herself. Did we also mention that the tree will be delivered to your home within a 100-mile radius at no charge?
100% of the proceeds will benefit the Festival of Arts and Pageant of the Masters. Bidding for the Pageant Christmas Tree is live now and runs through December 4. Find out more about South Coast Plaza’s Pavilion of Holiday Trees.
