The San Gabriel Fine Arts Association (SGFAA) will host a booth at the Health Fair held at the YMCA of West San Gabriel Valley, 401 Corto Street, Alhambra, CA 9l801, on Saturday, January 30, 2010, from 9am to 2pm. Member artists will demonstrate painting and/or drawing in their medium – oil, pastel and watercolor – and discuss the benefits of membership in the art association. In addition, there will be a table at the booth for children to try their hand at drawing.
“The San Gabriel Fine Arts Association was established in 1965 and is open to artists of all ages,” explains Alice Lee, President of the SGFAA.
“Our mission is twofold: while we encourage our members to exhibit their works and further their artistic abilities, we are equally committed to fostering the education and appreciation of the fine arts in general.”
In fact, Lee adds, the public is invited to attend the SGFAA’s meeting on February 18 at 6 p.m., when artist Timothy Tein (timothytien.blogspot.com) gives a short demonstration of his work. Light refreshments will be served and a $5.00 donation at the door is appreciated.
The SGFAA conducts monthly meetings and artist demonstrations at 6 pm on the 3rd Thursday of the month, in the Grapevine Room at 324 S. Mission Drive, San Gabriel in the historic Mission District (the corner of Santa Anita and Mission Dr). For more information about SGFAA or for information about the monthly meetings and artist demonstrations, please contact Diane Smith at 626-570-1038.
