More Mosaic Workshops Announced

We are scheduling more workshops for the community to join us!  We meet at the Boys & Girls Club Building in American Canyon (60 Benton Way) on the following dates:

Saturday, June 8, 10am-4pm

Thursday, Fourth of July, 1pm-3pm

Saturday, July 20, 10am-4pm

We hope to finish our first (of three) panels this summer.  With your help, we can get the artwork completed sooner and reveal the finished product!  Once installed, it will become an incredible work of public art--you will be able to point to it and say how you helped make the art!

We are still raising funds for the materials and supplies. We received major contributions from the Arts Council Napa Valley, City of American Canyon, and the AC Community Parks Foundation, not to mention the Arts Foundation itself!

If you can't make these dates, contact us!  We can offer "Tile Parties" for small groups up to 10-15 people.  Send us an email at info@amcanart.org.  For the latest updates, go to our website.

Spring Art Salon at ACHS

As the school year ends, High School Art Students present their artwork for classmates, parents and the general public to enjoy.  As it was this year, during the afternoon of May 30, 2019.  The art was great and hats off to Ms. Hull--her students' artwork gets better every year!

This is the slow season for new members, so instead, let's talk about the Special Membership Meeting we held on May 14.  We had a good turnout and reviewed our current Mission, Vision and Values.  We also identified a number of areas we want to focus on in the future, including more art shows, growing our membership, and partnering with other arts organizations.

For more information, including the minutes of the meeting, click here.

But if you do want to join, membership is still only $35 for individuals; $65 for families and $10 for students.  Make sure you're on our mailing list, to stay informed (see below).
