Welcome to the Los Gatos Art Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to the enrichment and support of the arts community. Founded in 1948 by Bill Cunningham and a group of dedicated art supporters, we have over 300 members. Our mission is to promote creative expression in the pictorial and allied arts by fostering high standards, extending appreciation and encouraging cooperation and camaraderie among artists. Our membership is open to all artists and art supporters.
The LGAA sponsors two major annual shows, is a participant in several Bay Area artist exhibitions, has several community galleries, a weekly Plein Air group, and is a close partner with the Art Museum of Los Gatos, (part of the Museums of Los Gatos, CA). Monthly gatherings are held where artists can interact & make connections, followed by an art demonstration.

Marian, an LGAA Member, will
demonstrate the art of beautiful writing.
Also a watercolor painter, she will show

forms in the pieces she produces.
She is a member of, and has taught at national conventions for
the International Association of Master Penmen, Engrossers, and
Teachers of Handwriting (IAMPETH). She also is a past president
of Pacific Scribes, teaches classes locally, accepts commissions, and

demo Marian will give everyone an opportunity to try doing
some calligraphy of their own.
