"About Us This year the Arts Guild of Sonoma celebrates its 40th anniversary and solidifies its status as one of the oldest, continuously operating artists’ cooperatives in the state of California. The Arts Guild of Sonoma was founded to exhibit and advance the creative efforts of local and Bay Area artists and to promote in its members the highest standards of artistic expression and professionalism. Over the past years, the Guild has supported local and regional artists and arts education. In furtherance of its goals, the Guild sponsors and participates in a wide range of community outreach programs to encourage art appreciation and inspire direct participation in the arts."

"Unlike most parks with a single plot of land and a continuous boundary, Sonoma State Historic Park is a scattering of historical attractions consisting of six midtown locations near Sonoma's Plaza. They are: Mission San Francisco Solano, the Blue Wing Inn, Sonoma Barracks, the Toscano Hotel, the Servants Quarters (the remains of La Casa Grande) and Vallejo's Home. Vallejo's Home is also called Lachryma Montis, and is less than a mile west of the Plaza. It was the estate of General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, Military Commander and Director of Colonization of the Northern Frontier."

"The breathtaking setting, the rush of emotions, the magic of the music, the connection with nature. Nothing compares with the award-winning experience of Broadway Under The Stars in Jack London State Park. We invite you to bring your loved ones and experience with us the perfect combination of wine, music, energy, and inspiration in the vineyards of Sonoma Valley." Enjoy these amazing performance throughout the summer months!
