6550 Railroad Avenue, Forestville, CA

Food For Thought, the Sonoma County AIDS Food Bank, and the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center present this fun event featuring a silent auction of fine gourd art, an exhibit of gourd instruments from around the world, live demonstrations in creating gourd art, tours of Food For Thought’s beautiful organic gardens, and seasonal organic food and wine from Sonoma County’s bountiful harvest. Throughout the day, musicians will entertain guests with a variety of hand-made gourd instruments.

Over 100 artists have been invited to participate this year, including many well-known Sonoma County and Bay Area gourd artists, some of whom will be displaying their gourd art work for the very first time, bringing their own artistic sensibilities and magic to the gourd form.
