We'll be having an Open Studio on Thursday, January 13 from 2-6pm preparing birdhouses for our 2022 Scholarship fundraiser. This is primarily a CAA member event, however, if you are not a member and want to help us mosaic and paint tiny birdhouses, you are welcome to come! The birdhouses will cost $10 when they are finished and all proceeds will go into our Maxine Piester Memorial Scholarship for CNUSD graduates studying visual arts in college.
Take-in for our January/February "Celebration!" Art Show will be 12-4pm, January 14-16 - https://www.coronaartassociation.org/art-exhibit-schedule

Our art shows are open to the public! We encourage community members, as well as paid CAA members, to enter our bimonthly art shows. Please visit our website to learn more about it. https://www.coronaartassociation.org/art-shows
