I am
pleased to invite you to the Colony of Coastside Artists annual Open Studios!
CoCa Open Studios is being held this Weekend –November
21- 22 from 10am to 5pm. This year
there are over 40 local artists participating in 23 different locations from
Half Moon Bay to Montara. For a complete list of all the studio
locations and their creative offerings please go to the CoCa website at www.colonyofcoastsideartists.com. You can print up a map to all the locations
from the website or pick up a brochure at any studio.
The best thing about Open
Studios is the chance to talk directly to the artists about their work. You have the opportunity to find out what
goes into creating any particular work of art, the meaning of the piece or a
little about the creative process.
Open Studios if free to
anyone and everyone that wants to come. There
is no entry fee.
Open Studios is a great way
to shop for the Holidays! Coca open
studios offers a huge variety of unique items and original art not to be found
elsewhere.
Each studio will also be
offering a variety of refreshments so you can nibble while you shop and talk to
the artists.
New this year at the Coca
Open Studios is the chance to win one of more than $1,800 in original art! All
you need to do is to pick up a passport at any studio location. Get your passport
stamped at 8 different studios and your name will be entered into our prize
drawing.
On a personal note I will be
offering my work with 4 other wonderful artists at 238 Palma street in El
Granada. Here are the artists and their
offerings:
Patt Sheldon: fiber art and jewelry
Deanna Adams: sunlight catchers and jewelry
Karina Marwan: stained glass creations
Kathleen Smith: hand painted silk pillows
Connie Andrews: Textural collage and found object
assemblage
Open Studios is like a mini
vacation. Come to the beautiful
California coast, shop, eat, visit the sights and forget the daily grind. You
don’t even need a map-just follow the yellow signs!
