Online Classes and Local Media Coverage

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!

We are hosting our first VIRTUAL artist gathering and want to know what has been inspiring you!

We invite you to join us and bring one item to share and speak about how it has inspired you.

Please know that you will need to download the Zoom app prior to the meeting. We will be sending an email within the few days prior to meeting time with a link to the meeting.

We look forward to seeing you!

Hello, AGP Members!

Our 1st Virtual Art Show is online! We invited our members to show us what has inspired them during this current situation. Art That Inspires Us allows us all to be together here until we can be together again at Sanchez Art Center. It is available here and on our Facebook page as well.

To view Art That Inspires Us Click Here.

Art Pickup

The Sanchez Art Center will be allowing us to make appointments to pick up artwork from the last show now!

Appointments can be made during the hours of M-F, 1-5pm, by emailing info@sanchezartcenter.org or calling the SAC office at (650) 355-1894. SAC staff will confirm the date and time.

Studio artists may pickup anytime but need to signout their artwork (clipboard is on the front desk), and place a Post-it note on the wall where the artwork has been removed from, noting the date removed and their name. Post-its will also be on the front desk by the clipboard.

* Please use the hand-sanitizer on the front desk prior to using the pen with the clipboard.  

Details concerning drop off for the next exhibit will be forthcoming, pending San Mateo County’s approval of reopening galleries.

Stay Healthy, and we hope to see you soon!
