Summer, 2016, has been a great one–and a highly creative time for San Pedro Art Association.
This weekend, they’re concluding summer with a celebration of new talent.
Sunday, September 11th, SPAA hosts a closing reception for their “Harbor Wide Student Art Competition”, which has been on display at CRAFTED since June. .
These are some seriously talented young artists.

San Pedro Art Association has been conducting their Student Art Competition since 2011. Just prior to the close of the school year, elementary, middle school and high school students throughout the San Pedro area are invited to submit their art.

Winners receive prizes including SPAA memberships and cash prizes. And every participant receives a ribbon, art supplies–and his or her work gets framed professionally and exhibited in CRAFTED, San Pedro’s year-round marketplace!
On Sunday, SPAA will provide lunch and welcome students, parents and anyone who’d like to come celebrate their youngest creatives one last time. But that’s just one of the many events San Pedro Art Association sponsors.
This autumn, San Pedro Art Association celebrates their eightieth anniversary! They’ve been supporting, promoting and teaching artists since 1936, according to their website. They host “First Thursday Artwalk” events monthly (their next one happens on October 6th). Their fall class offerings include jewelry design, painting and photography instruction.
Meanwhile, you’re cordially invited to come to CRAFTED this Sunday afternoon, have a light lunch and get to applaud the artists who may very well be creating your new favorite things, in the not-too-distant future.
