We had every intention of sharing this with you on social… but this one filled before we could even post.

Our Members Only April 19 Segerstrom Center for the Arts tour sold out, we then opened a second group, and that filled just as quickly.

We are so grateful for the enthusiasm and support. More opportunities like this are on the way.

Link in bio to join if you would like to be added the waitlist. Be sure you are on our email list to hear about upcoming events first.

Where should we tour next?
