The Torrey Pines Kiwanis (TPK) Club is the organization behind the prestigious La Jolla Festival of the Arts™. The Torrey Pines Kiwanis Club (TPK) was founded in 1982 as a spinoff of the La Jolla Kiwanis Club to serve the East La Jolla area and the Golden Triangle area. TPK is part of Kiwanis Division 21. In 1987 TPK member Dallas Clites, a professional photographer, suggested producing an art festival as a means to raising funds to support programs for San Diegans with disabilities for children as well as adults. So began the La Jolla Festival of the Arts™, which is held annually in June at UCSD Warren Field. Our club is open to all, and you might find our irreverence and passion something you could embrace. We’d love to meet you! Come visit! Proceeds from the Festival are managed and distributed through the Torrey Pines Kiwanis Foundation, 501(c) (3) Tax ID 33-0329642.
