Art Around Town
Thanks to the wonderful efforts of Eddie Applegate and others, San Fernando Valley Art Club members now have three restaurants around town to show and sell their work: Emilios Presto Trattoria, Something's Fishy, and Lulu's Beehive Cafe.
Depending on the size of the venue and the artwork, three or four artists may hang from two to eight pieces of their work for a month, and then the artists and work are rotated. There is no cost to hang, with a low 20% commission (part of which goes to support the club). Buyers contact the artists directly, so make sure you will be in town during the month your work hangs. Please contact Marilyn and Eddie (contact information is to the right) to take advantage of these wonderful opportunities, and visit the restaurants to support them and our members.
