Established in 1978 by NWC member Elizabeth Dorsey, the first “Art
Tea”
vision was an opportunity to recognize student artists from kindergarten
through 12th grade. Now a longstanding tradition in Manhattan Beach, the art contest aims to showcase up-and-coming artistic talent in the local
community.
The Neptunian Woman’s Club, founded
in 1909, is the oldest civic organization in the South Bay. It is a
501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to volunteerism and the
raising of funds
in support of charitable, educational, cultural and civic services.
