Expanding Avalon’s access to
ART &
JUSTICE
Dave Creigh contained multitudes. He was a lawyer for 50 years, half of those spent supporting the courts of Avalon. During his earlier years, he built an art gallery in San Diego where he curated some of the most compelling art of the time. The value of our civic institutions and the art that makes you think were precious to him.
He was a confectioner, sailor, voracious reader, Rotarian, businessman, and he loved Catalina Island, his home.
We seek to honor Dave Creigh by launching The David Creigh Legacy Fund to support Catalina’s community in the ways he felt sought to do so in his lifetime.
Honoring his commitment to art and our institutions.
