We regularly sponsor art shows for our members, some in
partnership with other non-profit organizations, and some through local
businesses. We encourage each other in our artistic endeavors, and hope to
achieve a broader understanding of the arts in the community. Information about
upcoming shows is in the For Members section.
Meetings are held the first Monday of the month at 7 pm
September through May in the San Marcos Public Library except when a holiday
interferes. During the summer there may be special meetings, such as the life
drawing sessions. |
