Ilan-Lael Visiting Artist Program
Seven distinguished artists are part of our 2026 Visiting Artist Fellows Program. The exceptional quality of the work reflects the values James Hubbell brought to his own work; a love of nature, honest and clear intention, and a sincere appreciation for the impact of art upon our world.
Our Harvest Moon Dinner will feature original works by our esteemed 2026 Fellows. Art will be available for sale and for auction before and during the event. Works will also travel for exhibition and sale at La Jolla The Athenaeum January 16th – April 10th 2027.
