Gallery is looking for new members
Gallery Saratoga, an artists' cooperative that moved earlier this year to a new and larger location at 14435-A Big Basin Way, invites interested members of the creative community to consider gallery membership.
"We can take just a few more artists," says Renata Radcliffe, the gallery's membership chairperson. "We're particularly interested in glass, stone and metal, but artists working in any medium are welcome to apply."
The eclectic gallery currently exhibits the works of artists in Saratoga, Los Gatos and other South Bay cities whose mediums include watercolors, oils, fabrics, turned wood vessels, ceramics, cards, photography and mixed media. Call 408.867.0458 or 408.358.7358.
