Small Treasures and Gifts
|
and good cheer, Sequoia presents its All Member Show. The gallery walls, display cases and pedestals are divided equally among our member artists, who then select their favorite works to show during the holidays. From the beginning of December through the end of January, the diversity of styles, mediums and content represented by our member artists is on display. Every year, the show has a different "look" reflecting the current generation of active Sequoia members. But the one thing that never changes is the spirit of cooperation and friendship that pervades our Sequoia community of 30+ member artists, including 13 studio artists, and many teachers, volunteers and friends.
Also during December, our member artists display small art works and 3D gift items that may be a creative departure from their usual medium. These "small treasures" give our artists a chance to explore their creativity in another direction and give you, our customers, another way to show your support for Sequoia while checking off some of the people on your holiday shopping list.
