Monthly Guest Artist Demonstrations:

Our general meetings are held the first Wednesday of each month at 7pm in the Gallery (with the exception of August and December). At each meeting a guest artist presents a lecture or demonstration of a particular medium. Demonstrations vary from month to month and may be pastel, watercolor, painting techniques on fabric, pottery, or fused glass.

Year Round Cooperative Gallery:

The association operates a member gallery in the historic Niles district of Fremont. Original artwork can be purchased at reasonable prices. Each quarter starts off with a wine and hors d'oeurvres reception for the new exhibit. Participating members rent space and staff once a month. We average 35 to 40 artists per quarter.

Individual Artist Showcases:

In addition to our quarterly shows, we offer member artists an opportunity for their work to be featured in one of four individual artist showcases each year.

Art in the Garden:

The Fremont Art Association and Regan’s Nursery team up for Art in the Garden one weekend each summer at the Nursery located at 4268 Decoto Road, Fremont. The Nursery is the garden setting where the artists create and exhibit drawing, painting, pottery work, ceramic pieces, fiber art, handmade soaps, lovely garden hats, and create jewelry as well as exhibit photography. Also the artists create art among the profusion of colorful blossoms everywhere and are accompanied by live music. There is a wide variety of art available for sale each year.
