August Reception at the Welcome Center We're back with another Artist Reception at the Welcome Center. We took July off because we were celebrating America's birthday. August's featured artist is ACAF President, Patti Krueger. Enjoy her photography and meet members, friends and artists! The Reception is Friday, August 17, from 5:30 to 8:00pm. Learn more about our exciting new Community Mosaic Project at the Boys & Girls Club building. We'll have light refreshments, and the event is Free and open to the public! If you would like to be included in a future show, or to join the Arts Foundation, email us at info@amcanart.org--or better yet, just show up on the 17th! |

4th of July Festivities The Arts Foundation was at the Festival and provide coloring opportunities for kids and adults. It was a lot of fun for everyone, and less work this year! Thanks to the members who helped. |

Update on the Community Mosaic Project We held our first planning session with all the stakeholders and we are now working on two fronts. First, we want to select an artist who's work will inspire the mosaic project; and second, we need to continue raising funds! We will be sending out a Call for Artist to select an individual or group that has experience with mosaics and community projects. We are considering one of several themes: Nature, Cultural Diversity, Community or Youth. We are looking for something that will be reflect who we are as a community. Expect the request in August. We also refined our budget. The wall we want to build our artwork is relatively large, so now we're looking for a budget around $15-20,000. We have our Arts Council Napa Valley grant for $5000, so we are looking for support from community groups, individuals and local businesses. We talked about including large donation sponsors on the wall, using tiles that could include an organization's logo. We are also exploring a Youth Art Contest to be held at the new Boys & Girls Club Building. Tentatively scheduled for the weekend of October 27-28. The proceeds will go towards the Mosaic project. More on this later. |
