Photo Collective & Members Show : Aug 4 - 27

The Central California Art Association and the Mistlin Gallery will host the “Photo Collective Exhibition” from August 4 to August 27, 2009. The reception is August 20 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. during the Third Thursday Art Walk. The purpose of the Photo Collective is to promote photography as an art form. Edward Mendes, President of the Photo Collective, states, “We have a diverse and very talented membership of photographers working in a variety of subjects, and we’re excited to have the opportunity to bring our unique perspective on the world of photography.”

Call for Artists

MEMBERS ARE NEEDED TO DOCENT IN AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER
We volunteers enable the gallery to remain open by opening and closing the gallery, greeting the public, selling art and jewelry, answering phone calls, inviting new artists to become members, promoting art and artists, and helping make people aware of classes that CCAA is hosting.
While members of the Artistic Planning Committee do docent each month, having other docents in the gallery frees up the Artistic Planning Committee members to fund raise, hang shows, plan for future shows, and many other duties.
If you are interested in docent training, call the gallery and we will schedule a time for you to work with another docent to train you. If you have already been trained, and are on the docent list, drop by the gallery and sign the calendar or call the gallery and we will schedule you in at your request.
