A very happy 2017 to all of our members and friends!
We had an excellent 2016 with several innovative shows, record attendance (the “Our Ladies” show in December took the cake – see photos above) and generous donations from members and foundations. We are very appreciative of these gifts, and planning for an even better year ahead.
Right now we’re jumping head-first into our first 2017 exhibit opening this weekend: a solo show from local artist Cristina Villasenor. The rest of the season we have planned more solo and group shows (February, April), along with special celebrations such as International Women’s Day and Open Studio Tour (in March), leading to our Prizes of May judged show: always a sell-out event. Be sure to check back here and in our Facebook page (link below) plus our monthly mailers and e-mails to learn more about our exhibits.
Our outreach to the community is also looking more active than ever, with classes planned for Veterans, Alzheimer patients and other disadvantaged groups, in addition to our regular program with the Boys & Girls Club and other kids’ groups.
As we move into summer we prepare for our popular ARTVENTUROUS partnership with more than 100 school kids taking over the Gallery…and then, much too soon, readying for Fall season once again!
We look forward to seeing you in 2017!
