ART

For its annual Coastside Invitational, Sanchez Art Center has invited seven art teachers and their students to exhibit work in the East Wing Gallery. The participating instructors include Rebecca Alex, who teaches at College of San Mateo and has exhibited in juried shows at Sanchez Art Center; Carissa Bowman, who teaches ceramics at El Camino High School in South San Francisco; Robert Dvorak, a Sanchez Art Center studio artist who has taught workshops at Sanchez Art Center and around the globe; Sam Holmes, ceramics instructor at Jefferson High School, Daly City; Shilo Ratner, who teaches drawing and painting at Sanchez Art Center and the Pacific Art League in Palo Alto; Arthur Takayama, photography teacher at Skyline College; and Halcyon Teed, who teaches painting at the Pacifica Community Center.

In the Mary Harris Room, Young at Art will showcase the work of young local artists through age 13. This exhibit includes a component entitled Sanchez Goes to School, displaying the work of students from Sunset Ridge Elementary School, where Sanchez Art Center has provided art instruction thanks to grants from Crescent Porter Hale; Hitachi America Community Action Committee; the Hitachi Foundation; and the Trapp Charitable Fund, a donor-advised fund of the Silicon Valley Community Foundation. Thanks are also due to art teacher Alexandra Ostroff.
