This exhibit is hosted every other year and features work created by the Art Associates — the gallery volunteers.

“The Art Associates Show” not only celebrates these individuals’ artistic talent, but it is also a sincere gesture of thanks for their generosity in donating their time to the gallery.

The exhibit will feature a diverse selection of art, including paintings, ceramics, sculptures, and drawings by thirteen artists of different ages, backgrounds, and life experiences.

There are currently twenty-four active volunteers; about half this number are artists. The majority of the Art Associates have been with the gallery for many years; some have volunteered for over twenty years.

The opening reception for “The 2012 Art Associates Show” will be held from 3-5 p.m. on Feb. 25 at the MSJC Art Gallery, located on on the San Jacinto campus in room 1400.  The event is free and open to the public.
