From the first line that was intentionally carved on a wall, the first group of feet that moved in unison, the first utterances or striking of objects synchronized into meaningful sound, humans have been, for millennia, creating what we now call Art. Art is all around us; can you imagine a world without it?
We are a volunteer organization dedicated to promoting Northern California artists. The gallery was founded in 2010, and in order to perform the various tasks required to maintain the small art gallery, six artists were accepted as residents. The resident artists manage staffing, publicity, new exhibits, sales, and housekeeping.
