Open Studios Day is a free family event that provides the public a glimpse into the process and artwork of local artists who create at Angels Gate Cultural Center (AGCC).
AGCC hosts one of the largest studio artist programs in the region with a diverse range of artistic disciplines including ceramics, photography, printmaking, writing, sculpture, videography, music, and painting. This self-guided tour of artist studios provides a unique opportunity to interact with the artists and purchase contemporary works of art. A roster of the artists who create at AGCC can be found at www.angelsgateart.org.
Free events will take place throughout the day – including live printmaking demonstrations. Family Art Workshop welcomes participants of all ages in building G.
In addition to the workshop and open studios, we have two shows up in our gallery, We Run Things, Things Don’t Run We and Artists At Work. Slanguage Studio will be hosting a panel titled “Slanguage Across Generations” featuring artists Alonso Garzon, Yadira Agredano, Oralia Rubio, and Tony Lopez. They will be discussing their experiences with Slanguage as a multigenerational space centered on mentorship, exposure and growth, and how it has shaped them as artists and as people.

It is with a heavy heart and peaceful mind that I share with you the passing of our beloved friend, artist, colleague, and board member Laurine DiRocco.
Laurine faced her transition as a challenge like any other, with no fear and in charge with a plan. She was an artist and educator and part of the beginnings of Angels Gate. For the last 40 years she has been a dedicated and joyful presence here. She was a consistent volunteer and a master artist-teacher. She served as Director of Arts Education as well as many seasons on Angels Gate’s Board of Directors.
Laurine was an early childhood arts educator and mentor to so many, including me. She often said teaching was her art practice. She was committed to student-centered creative freedom of expression that comes from nurturing the personal observations of this curious world. She influenced the field of early childhood education and her expertise helped shape the mission and goals of our own artist in classrooms program.
-Amy Eriksen, Executive Director
