Hey, Artists, want to step up your skills? One of our members pointed out to us that Skyline is offering studio classes online! We just thought we would pass that useful tidbit along to you.

Also of note, a local periodical, On the Coastside, features Sanchez Art Center and our current show, Pathways and Journeys, pretty prominently in its August 2020 edition! Nancy Hall appears on the cover.

To see it online click HERE.  Or you can pick up a free edition around town!

Take Care, AGP Community!
