Hello All,

It's been a while since the last blog, but I am back from art sabbatical, and inviting everyone to
Spanish Village Art Center's "New Members Show" at Gallery 21, located at 1770 Village Place in beautiful Balboa Park.

The show kicks off tomorrow, Saturday, January 5, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. when the gallery opens.  Regular show hours are 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily in Gallery 21.  Our "New Members Show" takes place 1/5/13 - 1/9/13, a short, but "fabulous", run so you don't want to miss it.

The artist's reception is being held on Saturday, 1/5/13 from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in the gallery.   Come and join the fun as we "celebrate our new members home", enjoy the art work, the refreshments and meet other art enthusiasts just like yourselves.

This is always a favorite of the Spanish Village Art Center, and gives us the opportunity to welcome our newly selected members.  A mingling of creative souls where old meets new, and visa versa.  A fun time had by all.  So, see you there.  Who knows?  Maybe you will fall in love, and take a piece of art work home that you just can't resist.  The artists of Spanish Village Art Center will surely love you for it...

"Celebrate, celebrate...dance to the music!"

Hello All,

Breaking News at Gallery 21!  Spanish Village Art Center is proud to announce the gala showing of our newest members' artwork in their juried media, now at Gallery 21.  The exhibit runs from July 13 - 25, 2011, and is open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.  We are located in scenic Balboa Park at 1770 Village Place, situated between the Natural History Museum and the San Diego Zoo.

The exhibit boasts a variety of media brilliantly executed by our new members who juried into Spanish Village Art Center in March of this year.  The media range from textiles to ceramics to photography, and are some of the best that Spanish Village has to offer.  I am equally proud to announce that one of our inductees is my very own (and newest) studio partner, Cameron Maine.

Cameron creates exquisite handbags from recycled and reclaimed fabrics and leather, all embellished with unique and highly designed closures and handles.  A Fine Art major and a well versed merchandiser in the textile and upholstery fields, Cameron Maine brings her full experience to the creation of each handbag, tote or clutch.  Each art-to-wear piece is one of a kind and cannot be duplicated; designed for women with discerning taste and classic style.  That's OOAK to you folks!  Cameron's pieces can be seen in Studio 32, seven days a week from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.  I've got my eye on a particular cut velvet and yellow pigskin tote that I have been pining after ever since she brought it to the studio. (Hey!  Hands off Ladies...it's MINE!  This little piggy did not cry, "Wee, wee, wee" all the way home.)  Cameron's RIPPICANAN bags can also be admired on Facebook.  Cameron invites you all to sign in ("Like" her) and, let her know what you think of her latest creations.

Hold that thought...RIPPICANAN and you.  I'm just stepping out for that short writer's break, and my morning cup of Joe (while watching a rerun of the Bourne Ultimatum...one of my alltime favorites).

Hmmm.  RIPPICANAN, Bourne and a cup of Joe...Can't think of a better way to start the morning.  Be right back.
