Art Hop on Thursday Evening

Please join us for Third Thursday Art Hop at the Art Stand Gallery on Thursday evening, July 15th!

It's an opportunity to meet and visit with Kathleen Mattox and Elaine Towne Lane, to watch them work, to get a preview of Elaine's ceramics class taking place on Saturday, and to share some refreshments. We'll have fun and we know YOU will, too! We hope to have some of the other artists drop by as well as new guests and repeat customers between 5 and 8 PM this Thursday!

Art Hops in July and August

Though we had originally planned to NOT have Art Hops at the Art Stand Gallery during the summer months of July and August, we have changed our plans and will be open the third Thursday evenings of both months.

July 15th: Elaine Towne Lane and Kathleen Mattox will be at the gallery from 5-8 PM

August 19th: Chieko Delgado and Kathleen Mattox will be at the gallery from 5-8 PM

With workshops each following Saturday, the artists will be available to answer questions about the gallery and the workshops and may also be doing demonstrations of their own work as well. Stop by to visit and enjoy refreshments with the artists!

The Art Stand Gallery Summer Workshps

It is time again for our summer workshops which will be held on weekends in July and August. The workshop flyer is done and in the mail (hard copies) and via email to those of you we have email addresses for. It will be posted here on the blogsite within the next few days.

If you would like a copy mailed to you (snail mail or, preferably email!) please respond in a comment here or email me at kathleenmattox@gmail.com and I will see that you get one right away.

Open Studio Event

The Open Studio Event last weekend was a resounding success! The weather was absolutely perfect, the overall sales topped last year's by a lot, the guest artists were great, and the visitors were appreciative of the opportunity to visit local artist studios in addition to the Art Stand Gallery itself. And the ART was wonderful--perhaps the best kept artistic secret in the San Joaquin valley!?

We are considering the possibility of making the event a two day event next year. We'd appreciate your thoughts on the matter. Would you like it to be a Saturday/Sunday event in the future? Or do you think we should keep it at Saturday only? Please comment. . . . .

TOMORROW is our Open Studio Event!

Where has the time gone? Tomorrow is our annual Open Studio Event for the Fruit Trail season at the Art Stand Gallery. Hours are from 11 to 5, Saturday only and there are 3 home studios to visit in addition to The Art Stand Gallery itself. Weather should be beautiful and you can visit with artists at each location and see where 3 of our artists work on a daily basis.

The flyer (pictured) gives details for the event but if you cannot read it or view it, please call (559) 905-3517 or email kathleenmattox@gmail.com for more information. Hope to see you tomorrow!

April 17, 2010

Today was our "change out" day, as we move from the Blossom Trail season to the Fruit Trail Season. We "interviewed" some prospective new members and will be announcing some additions very soon. We hate to see our members move on to something else, but it is always exciting to be bolstered by the enthusiastic attitudes of new "Artstanders"!

On Saturday, May lst, we will be having our annual "Open Studio" event. We hope you will save the date so that you can attend. Flyers and email notifications have gone out and if you didn't receive one and want one, please comment here and we'll make sure to send you one. You can also pick up a flyer with a map at the Art Stand Gallery or get one from any of the gallery members.
