NEW
DOORS ...THE VISION EXPANDS
A while back I
wrote a lament about the many doors of Artists Alley closing to
Artists. The rents for studios have skyrocketed out of sight in
Downtown Oceanside and most probably will never return to the level
that an Artist could afford to be in Artists Alley. The Dream of
Artists Alley is now a beloved memory for most of us, and we will
whenever possible return to take part in special events.
Possibilities remain with the vision of sculptures along the side of
the Alley. Perhaps in our new Master Plan for the Arts in Oceanside, this could be an element to which the muse of the alley could smile
about...
Now as I hoped,
a doors are opening in our Cultural Heritage District in East
Oceanside. The Muramid Mural Museum is soon to open next door the the
San Luis Rey Bakery and Restaurant near the Mission. Julia Fister has
opened her new studio, Studio ACE next door to the East Oceanside
Library. And another door will open in June at the new O'side Bakery
on Old Mission Ave.
Studio Ace will
open in June with the programming in the visual arts for kids,
adults, and programs which will be off site. The Studio is located in the
Mission Plaza Real next door to the Library. The area is one of our
oldest sites of the valley ranches. The Davy Jones Ranch used to be
at the corner of what is now Rt.76 and Douglas. This is where the
white horse in many of my paintings used to live. The old buildings
are still there. a testament to when the Valley was a quiet place of
green hills and many livestock.
Our Heritage
District is a treasure for our historical record. The San Luis Rey
Mission, the Heritage Park, and is now the new site where our beloved
Muramid Mural Museum is located. We are eagerly awaiting the
reopening of this most colorful and art inspired place to work.
Joanne Tawfilis has completely renovated the old house located next
to the San Luis Bakery and Restaurant, the address: 480
North El Camino Real, Oceanside, CA 92058.
A vision is building for the site of the closed Pacifica School in East Oceanside. Pacifica Farm a place where the vision is to grow good food, have healthy eating promoted with classes, a Farmers Market and quite possibly a place where performance can celebrate the fine art of the growing the good seeds of our lives.
One
more door will open on June 14th
. The O'side Bakery located in the same center as Studio ACE will
have their first opening for a fine art exhibition. Patrick N. Brown
an artist of wondrous paintings will be our first exhibitor. The
address is 3815 Mission Ave suite 101. The french pastries are my
downfall...more treadmill work in my future.

More
doors will open. The idea of an Art space in storage units is something to consider. The Bridge Storage in Richmond Ca has seen
great success in attracting artists to these unique spaces, which in
turn is building a new magnetic Art scene in the greater Richmond
area...I see a lesson here.
