In April, our exhibit features mythical and fantastical creatures – all mediums are welcome!
Take-in day is Wednesday, April 3rd from 10am-4pm. Download the artist contract here!
Please send us images of work you will submit for our advertising – it’s great exposure for YOU!
Our current gallery show features five California artists (Ana Bass, Kasey Burgunder, Marylu Downing, Tracy Taylor, and Lori Wise) who exhibited their work at the Landing Passage Gallery in Avila Beach until it closed this past December.
This show is a tribute to Linda Lewis, well known jeweler and owner of the Landing Passage.
All dedicated artists, their work ranges from abstract figurative, landscape and still life, playful water colors and textural mixed media pieces.
There is still time to enjoy this beautiful show… it truly is filled with light and color!
