May 20-Jun 24 11th Annual NATIONAL GOURD FINE ART SHOW It’s amazing that so common an object as a gourd can be transformed into fascinating works of art as well as functional objects and jewelry. The Fallbrook area is nationally acclaimed as a gourd-growing destination. Artists from across the country vie for entry into this very popular show and never disappoint us in the new ways they devise to use gourds in their art. As always, the final weekend of the show coincides with the Welburn International Gourd.
