SOLVANG — On Sunday, November 7, 2021 from 4 – 5 p.m., the Wildling Museum of Art and Nature will host its 2021 Virtual Fundraiser. Attendees are invited to raise a glass to virtually toast the Wildling, enjoy live and silent auction opportunities, and celebrate the premiere of a brand-new short documentary film highlighting local valley oak tree habitats, produced by Goodeye Films. Live guests will round out this unique experience that attendees can enjoy from the comfort of home. Most importantly, attendees can help the Wildling Museum raise funds that will be doubled by Wildling Museum board member Kate Godfrey, up to $10,000!
