Mother Lode Art Association P. O. Box 5140 Sonora, CA, 95370 Welcome! The Mother Lode Art Association is a nonprofit organization founded in 1951 to promote the arts and the appreciation of the arts in our community. What does the Mother Lode Art Association do?
We do art!!! We have art demonstrations at our monthly meetings, sponsor a local gallery, and organize an annual juried art show each fall. These venues, and others, provide artists the opportunity to show and sell their artwork. Scholarships are awarded to local community college students planning to continue their education in the fine arts. We publish a bimonthly newsletter, full of art news in our community and beyond.. We have outings, build friendships, share knowledge, and encourage each other in the pursuit of art! Meetings are held on the third Monday of each month (Except July, August and December) in the Community Room of the Tuolumne County Public Library on Greenley Road at 1:00 P.M. Please see the Newsletter Page for additional information that may not be included on this site. |
