Please see the member newsletter for times when you could help with staffing, we have a few gaps. Thank you!

Feel free to share the above postcard. Of note, Winter Art Faire will actually be from 11 – 5pm on Saturday the 11th of December, not just 1 – 5pm as it states on the postcard. Apologies for the confusion!

Hope to see you at the show!

We wanted to take a moment to congratulate a few of our members, and share their current projects with the Guild.

Tangerine Arts presents Out of the Blue, through Oct 6 at Eccleston Inc, 205 Rockaway Beach Ave., here in Pacifica. Featuring art from members Jennifer Alpaugh, Melinda Lightfoot, Kathy Miller, Nancy Mona Russell, Charlotte Seekamp, and Sharron L. Walker. Drop by during business hours Mon – Fri to see paintings, photography, mosaics, and more!

Also we have a couple of artists who have recently published books!

Christina Conklin’s new book The Atlas of Disappearing Places
https://www.christinaconklin.com/Artist.asp?ArtistID=28333&Akey=YX679CJP&ajx=1#!Group1_Pf195718

Robert Regis Dvorak’s new book A Book About Nothing (currently featured on our Shop on the Shelf.) https://www.youcreate.com/youcreate/BOOKS.html

Also we would like to mention that the Handmade Pacifica event was a huge success! It was organized by our members Kristina Ayala and Daniele Derenzi. It was so festive, with so many lovely booths and so much traffic…And that lead to sales from our show as well as the Shop on a Shelf! A great day all around. Keep your eyes peeled for more Handmade Pacifica events in the future.

Congratulations to All!

This is the last weekend to visit Restructured. Just FYI, Sanchez’s safety protocol aligns with San Mateo and other Bay Area Counties that require the wearing of a face covering/mask indoors. The new restrictions affect all residents, not just those who are unvaccinated.

Hope to see you soon!

July 28th – 7 pm 
Main Gallery – Sanchez Art Center 

Welcome back everyone!  

Please join us as we meet together once again! We will be discussing how we find our inspiration. Have you been able to find inspiration? Have you been creating a little or has your art hit a wall—or have you just been thriving better than before?

We haven’t been able to get together for quite some time, so it would be great if you could bring in a piece you been working on if you like. It will also be an evening of finding new inspiration for all the art we have yet to make.  

We kindly ask that you wear your mask. Don’t forget to bring your jacket, the doors will be open for ventilation. 

Hope to see you soon!

Left Coast Annual

We would also like to congratulate our Art Guild artists who were accepted into the Left Coast Annual this year!

• Susan Friedman
• Tanya Lin
• Beverly Patterson
• Jude Pittman
• Susan Matthews

As usual, please visit https://10to8.com/book/sanchezartcenter/ to make an appointment to view the exhibit.

Please join us on Zoom as we discuss balancing how to work social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook to grow and enhance your art. It is important to as an artist to have an audience and, in this day and age, we have the whole world in our hands! We will walk through the basics of showcasing your art and growing an audience.

You do not need to be on any of these platforms already to learn how they can help you. In fact, we hope that if you aren’t, this will be a start to getting you there. It is a balancing act, but it can greatly work in your benefit!

For your convenience, there will be two meeting times to choose from:

Wednesday, March 3rd at 7pm 

Sunday, March 7th at 11am 

Meeting details to come in an email next week.
