Sanchez Art Center opens the 14th annual 50|50 Show on Friday, Sept 9 with an amazing array of small (6” x 6”), affordable artworks.

Congratulations to the three AGP members who are in the show, Susan Friedman, Carol “Coco” Pan and Jennifer Alpaugh.

Ticket holders select a date and time interval to see the show in its entirety (over 2,700 pieces of art), and to purchase their favorite pieces, which can be picked up or shipped to buyers the week of Sept 12.  The Opening Fundraiser also offers live music, beverages (for a donation), and a chance to chat with 50|50 artists.
