Presentation
Tara Choate: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Art Organizations and Competitions But Didn't Want to Ask.

Arlon Gilliland is on vacation, so Susan Dietz will lead this week's open studio. The focus will be on pet portraits. A certain movie star MAY be present.

A Note from the Scheduler
 
Guests coming into the Pacific Artists Co-Op Gallery (front) often ask about classes. Staffers faithfully provide the rack card that contains the ASA information and encourage them to peruse the options on the website.
 
With summer approaching, it is important to get as many workshops and classes up on the website as possible. We are approaching the PRIME time of of year to attract class-goers. Many of the guests come in groups and they need time to arrange their schedules.
 
If you have been thinking about offering a class, please contact Tara Choate so she can get it up on the website.
