The next meeting is March 9th. The Community Arts Center is closed for renovations, and we will be meeting at the Mable Davis Senior Center until further notice.
Our CCAC Board of Directors will meet at 4:30 for a discussion on the adaption of By-Laws. And becoming a 501 (c) (3).
At our last meeting, we discussed the plans for the exhibition of member’s art at the Ridgecrest Desert Wildflower Festival being held in the Kerr McGee Community Center April 15 – 17.
We will be setting up Friday evening April 15 for this event. I hope you will join us for a fun weekend.
We are very excited about our own art show “Arts Fest by the Lake”, Themed “Home Sweet Home” that will be held May 7th and 8th at the Mable Davis Senior Center.
Attached to this newsletter is an application for the show. Because we will not be having this show in our own space, and space is limited at the Senior Center,
we regret that we will not have our Children’s Art Show this year.
The workshop on Pastels with Ramon Ramirez at the Senior Center Saturday, February 26 from 12 – 3PM was cancelled do to illness.
We will reschedule and send an e-mail with the new date.
We have a field trip planned for March 13 to the Getty Museum and we will be finalizing the plans for that trip at our meeting March 9, please come join us.

President, CCAC
“Please we need participation from everyone to make our
Arts Commission a success”.
Our “Arts by the Lake” show is scheduled for May 7th and 8th 2011 and will be a themed show again, “Home Sweet Home”. It is not a requirement that your art be in keeping with the theme to enter the show, but for your art to be considered for inclusion in our calendar for 2012 it must adhere to our theme to be considered.
Dear Fellow Artist:
Please find information below about our upcoming art show on May 7-8 of this year, Art By The Lake 2011.
You are cordially invited to participate in the art exhibit, which is open to all media. Artwork will be accepted on Friday afternoon, May 6, by members of the
California City Arts Commission at the Mable Davis Senior Center in Central Park, 10221 Heather Avenue, who will hang your work.
This year, the theme for the show is ‘Home Sweet Home’. This theme may include any subject matter that depicts 'home', such as bird houses, architecture/cities,
ground burrows, nests, etc. that life on earth calls home. Classifications include three dimensional works, photography, pen & pencil, acrylic, oils, all water media.
There is no charge for exhibiting your work. All artwork following the theme of Home Sweet Home is eligible to be photographed and considered for the
2012 CCAC calendar, with permission of the artist. If you wish your work to be photographed, please sign in on a separate log; see Helen Dennis, Art Show coordinator at the time of sign-in.
If you desire to sell your work, please contact Shelly Hornback, 760-559-5768, or Brenda Daverin, Parks and Recreation Department, 760-373-3530, for an application
