JEANETTE COLE ART CENTER & COLE CREATIVITY CENTER
Here are the Museum’s top 5 moments from the past week:
Three Bring a Crowd
Nearly 250 guests packed our premiere of Common Ground on March 2. The turnout was a testament to how greatly artists Meredith Brooks Abbott, Susan Petty, and Gail Pidduck are adored.
Nineteenth Artwork Sold
All of the artworks in Common Ground are available for purchase. In just one week, nineteen of the pieces have already been sold! But don’t worry, all of the works will remain on view through July 7.
Bank On Us
This past week we picked up a check in the amount of $2,500 from the Santa Paula branch of Bank of the Sierra! The Museum was awarded a Sierra Grant in support of our educational programs.
Pop-Up Power
Anette Power has joined artists Gina Niebergall and George Lockwood in our Pop-Up Art Shop. We have 7 of Power’s paintings available for purchase including her Fillmore Farm, pictured here.
Family Day Feedback
We loved hearing this from a mom who attended our most recent Free Family Day: “We had a wonderful time! Definitely something we will attend again. Mommy needed it just as much as toddler ;)”
