Please join us for ASA’s Artist Appreciation Reception (aka Meet the Artist Reception) on Saturday, August 29, from 5:00–7:00 p.m. at ASA.
This special evening is a celebration of the artists who bring creativity, inspiration, and connection to our community. We are grateful for the talent, passion, and dedication that make ASA such a vibrant place for artists and art lovers alike.
Held in conjunction with PAA, this reception is also a wonderful opportunity to connect with the broader arts community, meet new people, and share the spirit of ASA.
Bring a Friend! Invite someone who loves art, is curious about creativity, or would enjoy learning more about ASA. Your invitation is a meaningful way to help us welcome new artists, students, volunteers, and supporters into our community.
Join us for an evening of conversation, connection, and celebration. Light refreshments will be served.
We look forward to celebrating with you!
With appreciation,
The ASA Board of Directors | | Mat cutting room is about done and looks so nice!! More shelving will be installed for "art intake". The studio television will be the next project we'll tackle.
