Art on State Street
Stroll among the ART-ON-STATE-STREET!
Redlands Art Association’s semi-annual outdoor show will be happening Sunday, November 18, downtown on State Street in front of the RAA Gallery and Art Center. The block of State Street between 6th and 7th will be closed to vehicular traffic with our artist’s wares on display along the sidewalks.
“ART-ON-STATE-STREET” is aptly named for this event. Like Market Night, the artists will have their tents, tables, racks and standards lined up State Street with easy pedestrian walking down the middle of the street. Both fine arts and crafts will be offered out on the street and in the Gallery at 215 E. State Street. The event is one day only, Sunday before Thanksgiving, November 18 between 9 am and 4 pm. Rain Date is Nov. 25, the Sunday after Thanksgiving.
Open to all artists, with a discount on the fee to RAA members. The artist’s sign up sheet is at the Gallery now with an information sheet for details on the event.
For more information, call RAA Gallery & Art Center, 909-792-8435.

Where To Find That Special Gift?
We recommend visiting the Redlands Art Association. Located in downtown Redlands on State street, we offer a variety of unique, one of a kind gift ideas. We have beautiful paintings, incredible ceramics, amazing pieces of glasswork and stunning jewelry. You find something for everyone on your gift list. Consider a gift of an art class for your children, or maybe a a gift certificate for a program or workshop for that special someone. You may want to go all out and give them an art class and cooking class in Paris by signing up for our April trip to the City of Lights. Whatever your budget the Redlands Art Association has a gift to fit.
