The studio move is complete! New Studio is Up

In the wildness I forgot to publish this.

New studio first Painting Circle
Anavami Center has moved from Chanticleer Ave. to 2581 Mission St. Extension. Good bye to that sweet dream studio: upstairs, carpeted, windows viewing the rising and setting sun, moon, planets, stars and local fireworks with garden below.

Boxed up to move.
It is time to move from the last traces of rural Santa Cruz to industrial lands of Westside Santa Cruz to create a new dream amongst the constant sound of carpenters to the sides and iron worker across the way with their various choices of music. Yet it is a creative hive of artists whom I admired and have been following for years. It was a blessing brought to me by Lila Klapman. We are sharing the space and if you do not know her work you might want to come by for a look at her her bronze sculptures and new paintings.
With carpeting

Through Felicite, Santa Cruz Free Cycle and Laura's help with truck we have managed to get the studio carpeted so that we can work on the floor and even roll around it we like. Cozy in exactly the right description with 30' ceilings, but it changes the the acoustics and makes it warmer.

In May there will be a show at R.Blitzer Gallery, featuring artist from the Westside of Santa Cruz organized by Lila Klapman and Barbara Downs.

Last Saturday in March there will be a free preview of the Painting Circle Process. Contact anavami@cruzio.com to register.
