The San Leandro Art Association holds their monthly meetings and demonstrations at the San Leandro Main Library at 300 Estudillo Ave., in the Karp Room. The meetings, which start at 5:30pm on the second Tuesday of the month, are free and open to the public. The first part of the meeting is a social time for members and guests to mingle. There is a short meeting which goes over updates about the association, announcements about local art shows and more. Before the demonstration starts, at approximately 6:30, current members may display a piece of art for the Artist of the Month contest. A vote is taken and the winner receives a small cash award and ribbon. Each month the association invites an artist to present a demonstration of their art form. These demonstrations range from painting techniques to uses of clay. The demos last about an hour and a half.
