Campbells renown stretches across societal cultures including art, surf and skateboarding. Over 200 attending the opening night reception and 70 returned for the closing talk, even on Super Bowl Sunday. In the East Gallery, a moving show, Citizen Joy: Views of Democracy highlighted through a variety of visual art mediums, what we all benefit from living in a democratic republic. Community events welcomed attendees to both share at a communal table to offer their vision of democracy and have it documented on a tablecloth, and also to create individual right birds portraying the value of both our rights and what we appreciate about the services we receive from the federal government,from parks and libraries, to the post office public art programs, peaceful protest and voting. In the West Gallery, the Art Guild of Pacifica got into the theme with a members show titled Ode to Joy. Over the course of the year, the galleries brought inspiration to 5,200 (duplicated) visitors, while two exhibitions (Citizen Joy, Views of Democracy and the 2024 Left Coast Annual Juried Exhibition) also provided the opportunity to view from anywhere with a network connected device via the Sanchez Art Center Virtual Galleries. Sanchez Art Center expands opportunities to artists from a broader geographic area to share their work each year, with the Left Coast Annual (LCA), for artists in California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Hawaii, and through the intense creative journey of the 5050 Show, where artists create 50 small works over 50 days, being open to artists throughout California. The 2025 LCA Juror Carin Adams, Senior Curator of Art, Oakland Museum of California, selected 50 pieces out of over 800 submitted. In remarks about the selections, Adams noted, Reflecting the diversity of the Left Coast was the guiding principle for jurying this exhibition. The result is the confluence of distinct stories and individual practices with artworks representing varying degrees of abstraction and representation in a multitude of media. Paired with the 2025 Left Coast.Annual were the 2024 LCA Awards winners, sharing the work of three female artists at various states of their career: Kimiko Kogure, Kayley Jane Dykman and Sally K Smith, selected by 2024 juror Janna Keegan, Associate Curator, contemporary art and programming, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.The 17 th Annual 5050 Show, juried for the first time by a duo of gallerists, Melissa Kreisa and Rose Sellery, co-directors of M. K. Contemporary Art in Santa Cruz, dove into the 185 entries to create the show. Recollections of place and expression of emotions were strong themes in the show. Grounding oneself through nature and studies of light and water, mingle with explorations of people through portraiture. Concern for the planet and current events also threaded their way through the exhibition.Additional exhibitions in the Main Gallery included: William Rhodes, Throughlines, looking back reaching forward, curated by TaVee Lee with Transmission Gallery in Oakland. Lee notes of Rhodes more than 30 year artmaking career, In considering the arc of his work over time, one can readily recognize the intertwining ideas evident in his various creative pursuits; the legacies of African culture, the enduring impact of enforced migration through enslavement, the value of generational experience and the importance of creating community in the face of tremendous challenges, all while reaching toward a hopeful future. A duo show of ceramic works by Maria Porges Nancy Selvin titled Contained was curated by Philip E. Linhares. The works shown were inspired by traditional forms from many countries and periods in history, as well as the personal lived experiences of the artists, and was featured nationally with the Museum of Ceramic Art-New York (MOCA-NY). Finally, the Main Gallery also shared the work of emerging artist Zander Bice with incredibe large scale works created with color pencil. About their work, the artist noted, The two focuses of my work portraits of friends and family and inventive drawings depicting an imagined world that parallels American life eschew identity in favor of portraying an (albeit exaggerated) shared reality.The East Gallery again presented a local favorite, with a show of the award winning photographers from the 2024 Fog Fest Photography Contest. A powerful invitational exhibition, Living through History,featured the work of three artists Robin L Bernstein, Lidia Hasenauer and James Shefik. Following the tradition of art as a mirror held up to society, raising awareness and confronting power structures, these artists works meld the history we are living in today with the past, reflecting on themes of environmental chaos, disinformation, immigration, (in)justice, and the atrocities of war, capped with the hope for peace. The themes and works exhibited in Living Through History were powerful, commanding attention and thought, and may raise feelings of acute unease. Visitors expressed strong emotions as they were invited to find the exquisite beauty in the pieces while being confronted with the challenge of viewing the show with an openness of mind and potentially leaving with a fullness of heart that we dont need to repeat history, if we can rise above it. It was joyful with the final group show in the East Gallery to share Soft Power with the work of Sanchez Studio Artists. The title of the exhibition bring forth the recognition that artists, through their work either quietly and/or in bold statements of strength create community through their art by providing a depth of emotions for us to explore, the opportunity to delve into complex issues together, the offering of building connection and understanding, as well as inspiring us with originality, imagination and our shared humanity. The exhibition included an exciting variety of mediums and style. Sculpture to textile. Paintings in oil, acrylic and watercolor. Mixed media, ink, assemblage, videography, photography, fine jewelry, and printmaking.The additional three themes for the group exhibitions by members of the Art Guild of Pacifica were:Lost in the Weeds, Fractured Fairytale, and Elements of Life.Main Gallery show included educational artists talks as a way to be more connected with the artists,their work and inspiration. East Gallery exhibitions included community engagement activities including making gallery walks talks with the artists, docent tours and gallery guides. 48318 168972 19 studios leased to 30 artists meeting selection criteria; rates are below market and lease terms are limited. 47055 14014 Arts Education and Community Engagement Sanchez Goes to School, Sanchez Art Centers award-winning program, again provided a full 15 art lessons for each TK 5 th grade student at Sunset Ridge Elementary School. Conducted during the school day and provided nearly 350 students hands on art making and an introduction to a variety of contemporary and historic artists and artworks. Bringing art to the classroom has been critical as children have continued to work through challenging societal times. Six summer camps were held, providing week-long sessions with 72 children, ages 4 15, participating. Two scholarships were given to ensure opportunity for those who might not otherwise be able to The programming included nature art camp, mixed media/printmaking, introduction to creativity from painting to assemblage, and filmmaking. Sanchez Art Center participated in large community events held for Earth Day and Pride Week, bringing hands on activities to both events. At Earth Day, attendees created pelican masks, and at Pride, flags were made to be installed on the Sanchez campus. The Pacific Coast Fog Fest was another successful community event, with over 60,000 in attendance, even with one drizzly day over the two day weekend. The entries into the Fog Fest Photography Contest were on display, along with two huge coloring posters for folks to drop in and create together; attendees of all ages took part, from 3 80. SAC studio artists and visiting AGP members welcomed over 500 visitors to Open Studios in May, engaging with the community-at-large about their artistic practice in their workspaces. Additionally, several studio artists held a number of small group workshops either in their studios or in the Mary Harris Arts Education room, in a program of crafter noons, covering diverse mediums such as hand carved stamps, stencil prints, mixed media and jewelry making (reaching around 55 adults). Handmade Pacifica, an outdoor artisan/maker faire brought another 500 people to the center in July, providing the opportunity for local creators to share about their work and the visitors to buy locally made products. SAC staff continued in the role of providing guidance to artist about the approval process for public art projects as a member of the City of Pacificas Public/Art Mural Subcommittee. 320205 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 4 0 true 5 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true false false false CA X CINDY ABBOTT 6503551894 1220 - B LINDA MAR BLVD Pacifica CA 94044 X CINDY ABBOTT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ARTHUR TAKAYAMA PRESIDENT 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARYANN DRESNER SECRETARY 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 SUMMER LEE DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PETER LOEB DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BONNIE MILLER TREASURER 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JAN HANWAY DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MICHELE TRAUSCH DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANDREW LEONE DIRECTOR 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LINETTE MORALES DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 43320 43320 STUDIO RENTAL 532000 168972 168972 EXHIBITIONS 711300 136686 136686 ART EDUCATION 711300 13014 13014 318672 49 49 0 362041 318672 49 0 X 77760 69984 3888 3888 61729 58430 2357 942 2316 2084 116 116 10676 9608 534 534 10875 9788 543 544 70637 66966 3671 7878 7090 788 30118 30118 4867 4867 48318 45902 2416 1960 1960 8840 8398 442 OTHER EXPENSES 108 108 BANK SERVICE CHARGES 3875 3681 194 MEMBERSHIP FEES 257 257 PROFESSIONAL FEES 1221 1221 245 245 341680 320205 14663 6812 341961 364540 18767 18767 12336 12336 82282 80322 443010 463629 21084 21342 21084 21342 X 421926 442287 421926 442287 443010 463629 20361 0 X false false X 87786 33967 122362 29075 43320 316510 260654 292234 284719 277443 318672 1433722 348440 326201 407081 306518 361992 1750232 0 0 0 0 0 0 1750232 49 49 49 49 348440 326201 407081 306518 362041 1750281 1.00000 1.00000 0.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 12336 12336 COLLECTIONS ARTS ETC 1750 LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS 78572 80322 SECURITY DEPOSITS 13706 ACCRUED SALES TAX 6470 ACCRUED PAYROLL TAXES 1166 21342 Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 FORM 990 IS DELIVERED TO THE TREASURER AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WHO REVIEWS AND APPROVES THE FORM BEFORE FILING.
