2026_News and Announcements 2
The January Featured Artist Display - Jubilee of Art - is up. ASA had a good time celebrating the new year on Friday, January 2.

From Krista Eddy, Art Director at the Lincoln City Cultural Center:
 
Art Smart is a children's art program held in the winter and based around an adventure story. The program serves about fifty (50) local kids and has been at the ASA studio for seven years. This winter, due to scheduling conflicts, Art Smart will be held at the Lincoln City Cultural Center instead of in the ASA classroom. ASA is a special place, and I hope to return to ASA in the future. 
 
Thank you for all these years of support! I wish you all a wonderful New Year.
