We’re pleased to announce our exhibit “SLO Grown” is finally here! Come check out how local artists have honored our Central Coast agriculture.
Artist Reception held THIS Saturday, July 8th from 3-5pm
After retiring from a long career with the Department of Defense, Eileen Shibley took her first art class. She knew her life was about to change as the three-hour class flew by in what seemed to be 20 minutes. Eileen’s book As I See It meshes social issues with whimsical images using vivid descriptions to create an imaginative world.
“My art is my escape into the world of the possible. I see life in bright, bold colors, and my art reflects that vision and perspective” (Shibley 133).
Cyanotype Sets are finally back in stock!
Cyanotype sets are back – just in time for the summer sun. Come pick up one up and take advantage of the upcoming rays!
