Welcome the SDAG NEW 2012-2013 Board Members

SDAG "WELCOMES" the 2012-2013 New Board Members.

Turning over a new leaf!  Welcome in the new 2012-2013 board, of the San Dieguito Art Guild, under the direction of Co-Presidents, Terry Allen and Cheryl Ehlers.

New members are, Kathy Chin and Jill Treadwell- Svendson, Co-Secretaries and Rita Hohweiler-Cecil, Co- Public Relations . We thank you for volunteering for the positions.  It is so critical to the health of the board to maintain its level of function ability and we are proud to have you on board.  The pre-existing board members have either held onto their positions or rotated into open positions as our membership has overwhelmingly voted in all members to their positions during the annual voting.

Moving into the future with a new 501 3 (c) status, our agenda has planned exciting exhibitions, partnering with local organizations, hosting local youth and adult organizations, quarterly art demonstrations, Try It You Like It art classes, fundraising projects and more to educate the public on art awareness. We intend to offer opportunities to our Off Track Gallery, artist membership, and provide a new prospective on communicating to the public.

Catching up with technology we have brought on board, Facebook, Blogspot, YouTube and Twitter access.  The pilot programs have been in place, and we have been tracking the participation. To our wonderment, the activity had been very successful.  So join up and keep informed by participating.  

Plans are slated for additional exhibitions partnering with local organizations, hosting local youth and adult organizations, quarterly art demonstrations, Try It You Like It classes, fundraising projects and a variety of projects to enhance opportunities for our Off Track Gallery artists to participate and outreach into the community. It is our intention to expose the San Dieguito Art Guild’s incredible volunteer organization and bring art awareness and services to the local arts community.

Please stop in and visit at our “biggest little gallery” in town, the Off Track Gallery and find yourself shopping for creative art, from a variety of paintings, photography, 3-D art, glasswork, gourd art, mosaics and jewelry. Located at 937 S. Coast Highway, Suite C103, (in the Lumberyard) in Encinitas, CA, we are open 7 days a week.   

For additional information, there are several ways to communicate with us.  You can call the gallery at 760-942-3636 or visit our website at www.offtrackgallery.com.
