The Shed Fine Art Gallery of Dana Point holding live music special event Thursday March 29 – " A Night Of Music And Giving "

Arturo Echarte, a local musician and solo guitarist, will play his Spanish instrumentals March 27 from 5-7 pm at The Coastal Arcadian’s The Shed Fine Art Gallery, 24471 Del Prado Ave. in Dana Point, CA.

Any gently used instruments people would like to donate to give to young musicians who cannot afford to buy the equipment will be gratefully accepted, and a CD of Echarte’s compositions will be given in exchange. A percentage of purchases will be donated to the Laguna Beach Friendship Shelter.

Music, the universal language, speaks when words fail, as Hans Christian Andersen wisely put it. Indialantic guitarist Arturo Echarte’s music speaks of kindness and of a sense of community. The founder of Acoustics for a Change, Echarte channels music for the good of others. His music ministry supports local charities by connecting them with musicians, Echarte included, willing to donate their time to play at fundraisers

The Coastal Arcadian nestles in the northern portion of Dana Point. It is a charming trilogy of creative, inviting retail structures, all intent on re-creating an atmosphere that reflects a pre-computer era.

It desires to establish a brief respite from the constant chaos, unrest and hardships by offering a surrounding where life transcends back to a “gentler” era.

Until now, there has never been an art district in Dana Point, but if all goes as hoped, this will be the beginning of a small, independent cultural center.

Sue Osborne envisions summer classical concerts in the several vacant lots throughout the town center, along with sculpture gardens and a community vegetable garden.

Please join us at The Shed Fine Art Gallery on March 27 from 5-7 PM to meet our artists and enjoy some wine and refreshments.
