Prancing reindeer.  Torso-sized Christmas trees.  Giant snowflakes and laughing Santas.

Admit it.  You’ve probably got an “ugly sweater” somewhere, for Christmas.  And San Pedro Art Association wants to see it!

On Friday evening, December 20th, they’ll be hosting their annual Christmas party–complete with an “Ugly Sweater Contest”!  It’s going to be a lot of fun, with fantastic, creative artists who support one another–and the next generation of artists.  Wear an ugly enough sweater, and you’ll win a prize!

And this party will be a landmark one for SPAA.

They’ve been hosting “Fabulous Friday” local artist mixers on a monthly basis.  Live music, food, beverages and a good time were always on the agenda.  However,  SPAA Board Secretary Bill Boisselle-Schalaba  advises that this will be their final, regularly-scheduled “Fabulous Friday” celebration.

Which means, they’re going in some new directions in 2020!San Pedro Art Association banner on a wooden wall background

Bill says, in the New Year, they’ll host a “Fabulous Friday” for Halloween and one in December, as a Christmas party.  But SPAA will mainly concentrate on their popular “Comedy Night” and their crafts fairs, in the New Year.  (Which makes sense.  These are some gifted artists–but even they have only 24 hours in a day!)

So–break out those dancing Santas and woolly Christmas lights.   San Pedro Art Association wants to celebrate with you, next week, at Machine Studio.

AND–before that, they want to help you with your Christmas shopping!

SPAA will have their Second Annual Winter Craft Fair this Sunday, December 15th, from 9 am to 4 pm at 25th and Western.  Come see their fantastic jewelry, pottery, wall art and all kinds of other unique gifts!

San Pedro Art Association hosts their Christmas Party on Friday evening, December 20th, from 6:00 to 9:00 pm at Machine Art Studio, 446 West 6th Street (east of South Pacific Avenue) in San Pedro.  Admission is free.
