Soroptimist Club's First Year Hosting a Success


The Soroptimist Club of Borrego Springs successfully hosted its first Circle of Art Festival this past weekend at Christmas Circle Park, carrying on the legacy of this much-loved event. Previously organized by B.A.S.I.C. (Basic Assistance to Students In the Community), the Circle of Art remains a cherished annual juried art show that brings together the heart of Borrego Springs. Under sunny skies and warm spring temperatures, visitors enjoyed a weekend of captivating art, live music, and a strong sense of community.


Poster Artists of the Year

Since its founding in 1989, the Circle of Art has showcased outstanding local and regional artists across a variety of mediums, including painting, sculpture, photography, jewelry, ceramics, and more. This year’s featured poster artists, Kathy King and Paulette Donnellon, generously donated their artwork to help fund Soroptimist Club scholarships, which empower local women and girls through education.


S-Club Students Volunteer at Circle of Art Festival

Borrego Springs High School S-Club students, organized by Soroptimist member Sylvia Maas, volunteered throughout the festival, assisting artists, guests, and event staff to ensure a smooth and successful event. In addition to her role with the S-Club, Sylvia Maas is also leading the Bike4BorregoKids Fundraiser, an initiative raising vital funds to benefit youth programs in Borrego Springs.

Sound of The Ram Community Radio Brings Festival to Life

The energy of the festival was elevated by The Ram, Borrego Springs Community Radio, led by Mike Rue. Throughout the weekend, The Ram broadcasted live music, enriching the atmosphere at Christmas Circle and adding an extra layer of fun and connection for both artists and visitors.
