Art That Inspires Us And Art Pickup Plan

Posted on by

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.

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!

COVID-19 Update

Posted on by

Please check with the Sanchez Art Center to see if its galleries are currently open or closed due to shelter-in-place restrictions. By extension the Art Guild activities are also paused.

We apologize for this inconvenience, and we hope you will continue to find solace in making art at home. In the meantime we have created a Gallery page to contain virtual exhibitions for view while we are unable to visit in-person.

Continue to visit here for other ongoing member news.

Please take care of yourselves, stay healthy and enjoy each day as much as possible. We will be here, ready to show your work once again, when this ordeal is resolved.
