Interested in Local Bay Area Art Happenings?
SLAA member, Bridgit Lawley, culls the web for information about art events in the San Francisco Bay Area with a focus on the East Bay museums and galleries. Approximately once a month she sends out an email-distillation of the information she has tracked down. An example is to the right. Included with each event notification is a link to a deep dive Blog with information about the artists and/or show. Very entertaining and informational!
We invite artists to give demonstrations each month
Our demonstrations cover a variety of art styles and mediums. The demos are free to the public and all are welcome..
