SANTA MONICA—Local artist Jenny Hager will join a distinguished list of artists and homeowners to celebrate the second annual West Adams Heritage Association’s Art in Historic Places tour, “Celebrate the Arts: Artists of West Adams,” on Saturday, March 26.

Features include architecturally diverse historic venues in several West Adams neighborhoods, all showcasing works by professional and emerging local fine artists who work in a variety of media and genres, from traditional to cutting-edge contemporary. They include: Linda Frost, Donald Ferguson, Jenny Hager, Joan Tucker, Paul Papanek and Tolanna (Georgia Toliver). All of the participating artists live and/or work in the Historic West Adams area. The self-guided driving tour includes both turn-of-the-century and post-WWI residences, including Craftsman bungalows and Spanish villas, artists’ studios and other historic structures.
