Appreciating Sixty Years of visual Arts on the Central Coast -- Crissa Hewitt
Enjoy learning the story of the rich and varied Central Coast visual arts community that has grown here from its grassroots.
In the 1950s, a number of arts-minded residents, mostly amateur painters, discovered their mutual needs for community, inspiration, and opportunity to display their work.
Retired Cal Poly Art Professor Chrissa Hewitt will explain how this network of art associations, galleries and festivals began, and how this infrastructure has grown to provide educational and display/sales opportunities throughout the area. There are over 300 local artists here now, representing a large array of disciplines.
You will see a slide show preview of the upcoming (October 8-9, 15-16) 18th annual Open Studios Art Tour sponsored by ARTS Obispo. Youll be able to see the vast variety of their styles, media, and talent that will be on display in October.
And you will receive a catalog and get tips on how to your personal tour. This year 191 local artists are inviting you to visit their studios and appreciate their work.
Crissa Hewitt is a retired Cal Poly Professor of Art and Design. She holds a BA in art (CSU Northridge), specializing in 3D disciplines, and an MFA in Silversmithing (Cranbrook Academy of Art), and has studied marble carving in Italy. For 40 years she has been an active participant in several local arts organizations, has installed many art exhibits, and has exhibited her work locally and nationally. This is her eighth year as an Open Studios participant.
