South Coast Plaza, The Pavilion of Holiday Trees
12.01.20
South Coast Plaza ushers in the season of giving with the first annual Pavilion of Holiday Trees, a spectacular exhibit and auction now through Dec. 4 featuring more than 30 one-of-a-kind trees decorated by Southern California, national and international nonprofit arts institutions.
Some tree ornaments will include valuable gifts such as VIP tickets, fine dining gift cards and complimentary subscriptions. The holiday trees will be on view for free to the public 11 a.m.-7 p.m. through Dec. 4 at The Pavilion, an open-air space at South Coast Plaza’s north parking structure.
COVID-related safety measures will be observed at The Pavilion and throughout South Coast Plaza. Whether or not they attend in person, the public will have an opportunity to bid on the trees in a charity auction at SCPARTS.givesmart.com, with 100 percent of the proceeds benefiting the corresponding organization. The trees will be delivered to the winners in time for holiday celebrations.
South Coast Plaza will also present three awards for outstanding design selected by a panel of judges: $2,500 for the third prize winner; $5,000 for the second prize winner and $10,000 for the grand prize winner. The winners will be announced on Dec. 4 in person at The Pavilion and on South Coast Plaza’s social media.
The Pavilion of Holiday Trees reflects South Coast Plaza’s longstanding tradition of arts philanthropy, including support for institutions such as Segerstrom Center for the Arts, Carnegie Hall, American Ballet Theatre, South Coast Repertory, Orange County Museum of Art, and more.
