October Song

Greetings

As ACF's spring and summer seasons wind down, it's a great time to look ahead and consider NEW DIRECTIONS. Our 2012 Season will be publicized soon, but in the meantime, we are thrilled to announce Intersection, an exhibition and round-table on art as force for healing. Curated by Claudia Chapline and Jacqueline Mallegni, this invitational show will be viewable at the Commonweal Gallery on Mesa Road in Bolinas, July through September 2012.

ACF is working on finding new, exciting, accessible spaces for site-specific, innovative exhibitions throughout Marin County and the Greater Bay Area. We are also interested in creating opportunities for emerging curators.

Please read on and find information about more ACF news, including our new Autumn Online Benefit Auction with two pieces donated by Ruby Newman. New Art for you = funds for ACF. Here's that link for our 32 Auctions page.

We are always happy to hear from you with your ideas and suggestions.

I hope to see you soon.

Sincerely,

Claudia Chapline,

ACF Board President
