Artists’ Studio in the Foothills: See creative artists at work

THE ARTISTS’ STUDIO IN THE FOOTHILLS (ASiF) is a 4000-sq.-ft. visual arts center featuring 12 private studios, three community studio/classrooms, a local artist gallery and gift shop, and classes for adults and children in a variety of media.

ASiF is a fully equipped studio arts facility serving as a resource for Nevada County visual artists. It is now the creative home to more than 30 painters, sculptors, print-makers, ceramicists, mosaic and mixed media artists.

ASiF’s mission is to nurture the creative spirit of the community, providing an environment where art can be taught, made, displayed and appreciated.

The center has earned wide acclaim for its stable of high caliber artists and hugely attended art events featuring themed gallery shows every six to eight weeks. Crowds of several hundred people join the artists to celebrate and enjoy fine art, food, wine, music, lectures and live demonstrations by resident art instructors.

The center houses 15 private artists with year-round open studios, plus more than 15 artists who share the community studios and classroom spaces.

One of the most exciting aspects of ASiF is the comprehensive nature of the center’s visual arts focused offerings. A full range of resources are provided for working visual artists and the public that seeks to support them.

ASiF is a place where artists can generate income for themselves, through teaching, creating, displaying and selling their art.

The combination of the private studio spaces for residents, the gallery that supports them and the studio classrooms that provide greater public outreach for them is the perfect punch-list of needs for working visual artists.

ASiF has become a vital conduit for connecting visual artists with the students and patrons that support them.
ASiF art events and themed gallery shows over the years have included shows such as Art of Love, A Show of Chairs, Landscapes, Art of Tea, The 21 Buddhas, and their ever popular annual Smallworks in the Foothills Holiday Show.

In addition to ASiF’s themed gallery shows, the center holds seasonal open house events featuring resident instructor demonstrations throughout the year.
