RECEPTION WEEKEND!

Enjoy the beauty of the season! When you're on your way to our gallery for the reception this weekend, if you're coming from Fresno/Clovis, when Hwy 180 turns left (at Reed Ave, where the Minkler fruit stand is), about a mile from the gallery, on your right hand side (south side of the road), you'll see this vibrantly flaming orchard. I happened to have my camera yesterday, so I had to pull over, hop out, and snap a couple of pictures.

See you at the reception.

RECEPTION for our HOLIDAY SEASON

It's RECEPTION time! Thanksgiving is next week. Then Christmas will be here before you know it. We are ready to help you with your gift giving ideas and we are awaiting your cheery presence in our gallery this weekend.

Our reception is on Saturday and Sunday, 19-20 November 2011, from 11am until 5pm.

Come in from the cold and join us for a cup of hot cocoa while enjoying local art. Our gift tree is replete with wonderful little treasures. Take a look!

Dear Art Lovers & Friends:

It is that time of the year again when we bring out the holiday decorations and get into the holiday spirit.

We would like to invite you all to come to the Art Stand Gallery to join the artists for an "Art for the Holidays" Open House Party to be held on Saturday and Sunday, November 19th and 20th from 11:00 AM until 5:00 PM.

There will be refreshments, good cheer, a chance to meet the artists and lots of art pieces to fill your Christmas stockings.
