EDHAA has partnered with the Teaspoon Shop in El Dorado Hills Town Center to create a year-round Gallery. This provides a wonderful new opportunity for members to show their work. The Gallery has 8 spaces 5.5 feet wide for 8 artists to show 3-5 works of art. We are taking applications which put artists on a waitlist from which the top 8 artists will be selected to show their work in the next cycle. Each group of artists will have their work in the Gallery for a 2-month period after which the next group of 8 artists will then display their work. More information is on the application form below.

Studio Tour Preview Show The Studio Tour Preview Show was installed April 1 at the Gallery at 48 Natoma in Folsom. A special thank you to Annie O'Connell for coordinating the show, and thank you to Tim and Chris for help with hanging the art.
The exhibit will run from April 11 - May 15 (NEW DATE), and provide a great starting point for people going on the Art Studio Tour. On display is a sampling of work from Artists that can be visited on the tour, and plenty of brochures/maps will be available.
The gallery's regular hours are: Mon - Fri 9:00 - 4:30, and Tues/Thurs 6-8pm. In addition, they will be open on Studio Tour weekend, Saturday May 3 and Sunday May 4, from 10:00 - 5:0 Artist Spotlight: Pat Keever 
Pat Keever, Oil Painting “A painting is like a piece of music without the sound”. This quote from artist and instructor Qiang Huang inspired Pat to try to create a song with a painting. Rather than copying an image exactly she aspires to interpret it and make it “sing.” A career in the airline industry allowed her to travel the world and exposed her to the finest museums and works of art. In particular, the impressionists and post impressionists were of interest. The beautiful architecture and landscapes inspired her as well. After raising a family and volunteering with various art related projects, she decided to try painting in oils and was immediately inspired to do more. She has studied with Qiang, Derick Penix, Elio Camacho and others but is primarily self-taught. She works primarily in oils but also uses acrylics, pastels and gouache. Pat is also serving on the EDHAA board as Membership Coordinator this year.
