We are happy to announce the ACF's first ever, Holiday art show, which will take place on November 6, 2010.
This will be the first show of the season so interest and attendance will be high. It will be  taking place at the Elk's Lodge, 2101 N. San Francisco St.
from 10 am to 4 pm. Space is limited so be sure to return your application as soon as possible. This will be a great chance to get the jump on the holiday season.

Saturday night's (August 7th) Prelude Opening Reception was a wild success. We had close to 500 attendees and sales were better than expected.
Now on to FOS and the Closing Reception on Saturday, September 11th. We are still looking for volunteers to perform and/or demonstrate at the
"Artists' Carnival"  during the Reception. Let's have fun with the carnival concept.  We already have a face painter, psychic reader, a Spin Art booth
and origami demonstrations. Get your creative juices flowing and contribute to the fun. Please help us make the carnival a success.
It will be the final chance for people to purchase your art and let's get as many people there as possible with fun activities.
We want to make the public curious so they visit "Prelude” again!
Please contact Mike Frankel at 522-6969 or Colleen Tucker at 714-1590 to participate in this fun event.
Let's make the "Prelude" Closing Reception as great, fun and profitable as the Opening Reception.

Keith Huling Art

Current ACF Members, I have recently set up a framing shop in my home in order to save on the high

cost of custom framing. I would like to extend an opportunity to artists in the coalition to take advantage

of cost savings by providing framing to current members. Yours Truly, Keith Huling

Discount Custom Framing

Savings include wholesale prices on all moulding, glass, matboard and supplies. Frame joining prices are being

introduced at $30.00 for 1"width and under; $10.00 for each additional inch in moulding width. Price may

vary in some cases.
