6 – 9 p.m. Sat., Feb. 9 • 230-D Mt. Hermon Rd Scotts Valley (Next to the Cinelux Theater)
Scotts Valley Artisans Non-Profit Community Art Center is holding its Second Anniversary Party on Saturday, February 9, which will feature a silent auction and local food, wine and desserts.
Included in the silent auction will be original artwork from over 100 local Santa Cruz County artists, as well as goodies and activities from many local businesses.
Wine will be provided by Scotts Valley’s newest winery, 37th Parallel, who will be on hand to pour. Bruno’s BBQ and Cutesy Cupcakes will provide food.
Entry into the event is free, and those interested in participating in the silent auction will be assigned bid numbers at the door.
This event will also mark the opening of the Laurie Zeszut Gallery at Scotts Valley Artisans. Laurie, a long-time Santa Cruz resident and renowned local artist has donated a large inventory of her limited edition, numbered serigraphs to help raise funds for Scotts Valley Artisans and its umbrella organization, the Regional Artisans Association. These serigraphs, along with many additional original works will be on display in the rear gallery space. In addition, master ceramicist
Mattie Leads will also be a featured artist in the Laurie Zeszut Gallery during the month of February. Mattie creates large- scale, hand painted ceramics that are enthusiastically collected and on display in homes, galleries, and businesses throughout Santa Cruz and the San Francisco Bay area.
All funds raised from this event will go to Scotts Valley Artisans to support its 5600 sq. ft. space devoted to displaying and selling the work of Santa Cruz County artists and artisans, along with its many projects and programs.
These include the Mural-in-a-Day Project, the Art in Public Places Program, SantaCruzArtists.com non-profit online art market, its Artist-in-Residence program and a multitude of other activities, projects and programs designed to highlight and promote
Santa Cruz County’s most valuable natural resource: its immense population of resident artists and artisans.
Scotts Valley Artisans is a non-profit community art center featuring the work of over 130 Santa Cruz County artists and provides permanent and affordable showcases for local artists to display and sell their work. Our goal is to expand the reach and elevate the profile of artists in Santa Cruz County, to increase access to affordable, handmade art for the community, and to foster programs and events that will solidify Santa Cruz County’s reputation as a nationally and internationally recognized arts destination center.
