Wednesday Artist Gathering

Come and join a discussion with your fellow artists, share a piece you are working on, or just talk shop! 

 

Friday Reception for Three SAC Shows including Ode to Joy 

 

Three concurrent shows will begin the 2025 Exhibition Season with a reception on Friday, January 17, from 7 to 9 pm. In the West Gallery, of course, will be our Art Guild of Pacifica show titled Ode to Joy. 

The Main Gallery will feature a “broad-ish survey of the makings of multi-media artist Thomas Campbell,” in Shape Shifting and other astral lint balls. Exhibition curator Susan Hillhouse Leask notes how she immediately connected to Campbell’s “distinct expression and interpretation of Do It Yourself (DIY) and to how it reverberated within the San Francisco Mission School of aesthetics and philosophy. Campbell is always playing with language and form. No matter how many times his work shape-shifts, its common denominator is found in the vastness and depth of his creativity.”

The East Gallery is presenting the juried exhibition, Citizen Joy: Views of Democracy, Gratitude & Aspiration. The community is invited to celebrate democracy with the organizers of Citizen Joy and the artists in the show. A juror and artists gallery walk & talkwill take place on Saturday, Jan 25, beginning at 2:00 pm.

Additionally, on Sun, Feb 2, 1:30 – 3:30pm a hands-on art-making activity will be hosted, with “Freedom Bird” templates and materials provided to participants to create their own vision of democracy – what they are grateful for, what rights and freedoms they hold dear, and what it means to be in harmony with our fellow citizens; this activity is suitable for all ages.  Later that afternoon, from 2:30 – 4:30pm a table talk will be led by Beth Grossman, and together we will explore: How might our world change socially, politically and economically if we acted in harmony with others and lived by the universal Golden Rule? 

Thomas Campbell Artist Talk On the last day of all the exhibitions, Sunday, February 9, at 3:30pm the closing program will begin with a conversation with the Main Gallery artist.

Gathering: The Artist’s To-Do List

Our Next Art Gathering:
The Artist’s To-Do List

Wednesday – March 15th
7pm – Main Gallery

As an artist, having a to-do list could be a roadblock, or create the freedom of wide open spaces. It depends on how you look at it. Creating art takes time, being a working artist takes time, and we manage that is important for our success and well-being. Next Wednesday evening, join us as we discuss our own routines, tips to make your time more efficient, establishing new routines, working through setbacks, and managing bursts of creativity.
