Monthly Meetings

Elk Grove Artists meet on the fourth Wednesday in January through October (and the third Wednesday in November), in the Stockman's Bank Community Room, Suite 100, located in the Jessie Wright Suites building, 9275 E. Stockton Blvd., (south of Bond Road). It is a red brick building north of the business complex with the horse sculpture.  We meet for lectures, demonstrations of various art techniques and media, gallery tours, workshops, and outdoor paint-outs.  From 6:30-7 PM, there is a "show and tell" by members of their art techniques and general networking and socialization, followed from 7-8:30 PM by lectures or hands-on demonstrations. 

A nominal fee of $5.00 is charged to non-members to cover speaker's fees at meetings.
