Spending time with fellow artist is an excellent way to recharge your creative battery! ASA members can mix, mingle, and network with other members at a variety of social gatherings, including gallery openings, classes, and potlucks.

 

Art Display

 

ASA members also have an opportunity to display their art in the ASA gallery. In fact, there are two galleries contained within our building. The first, in the "front" of the building, is occupied by the Pacific Artists' Co-Op Gallery. This group conducts the sales for all the art in the building. The second, in the "back", is in the same space as the classroom. The Artists' Studio Gallery is a place for ASA members to display and sell artwork. ASA members who wish to take advantage of this feature pay an annual $20 display privilege fee and a small commission for each item sold.

 

The gallery opening and artist's reception is held on the second Friday of January, April, July and October.

 

Classes & Open Studios

 

Throughout the year, ASA offers a wide variety of classes and meetings where you can find people who will excite you with their unique creations and inspire you to new ideas. Members receive a discount on classes. Instructors range from local to visiting and teach a wide variety of mediums.
