The 46th annual Malibu ArtWalk Festival (formerly Malibu Arts Festival), scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 18, is dedicated to the late Marie Stapel, president of the Malibu Art Association. Malibu residents are invited to attend a celebration of Stapel’s life during the festival at 12 p.m. on the stage.
Stapel died on Sept. 16. Her California roots run deep; she moved to Malibu in 1972 as a third-generation Angeleno. After a successful 30-year career in business management and real estate, Stapel was dedicated to the Malibu Art Association since the late 1970s as co-president, and later, president.
Stapel was a subject of artist Johanna Spinks’ series with The Malibu Times, “The Face of Malibu.”
The event, hosted by Malibu Village and Malibu Arts Festival, sponsored by the Malibu Chamber of Commerce, will take place from Nov. 17-19 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. at 3822 Cross Creek Road. Visitors are encouraged to park at 23789 Stuart Ranch Road and ride the shuttle to the venue.
