Residents from both Rolling Hills and the Manhattan Beach Hill Section neighborhood recently gathered for an unforgettable evening at VEFA Gallery - an exclusive event co-hosted by Stroll and one of the South Bay’s most inspiring art spaces. More than 75 neighbors came together to enjoy world-class artwork from the California Art Club’s prestigious 114th Annual Gold Medal Exhibition, paired with curated organic wines, elegant appetizers, and great company.

The evening reflected VEFA Gallery’s mission perfectly: to not only exhibit powerful contemporary works but also to foster cultural enrichment and connection right here in the South Bay. As many Stroll readers know, VEFA Gallery was founded by Dr. Joseph Anderson and his family to bring museum-quality art and "artful living" to a region they once called an “art desert.” Thanks to their vision, and the support of our vibrant local community, this special night reminded us all just how meaningful it can be when art and neighbors come together.
