Open Studio Night - Second
Saturday of
the month,
6-10pm

Every second Saturday, the Annex and dozens of galleries and studios on
Ray Street open to the public to show their newest work for "ray at night" - the
monthly artwalk in North Park. You'll see all kinds of art, and learn
about classes and events going on in the area. Best
of all, it's free! At the Annex, we
put away the torches and hammers, and transform
into
a gallery space, showing jewelry, metalwork, photography, and the work
of visiting and local artists.
We
are open every "ray at night"

May 2009 - Jewelry & Metal Arts Club, Southwestern College
May's
visiting artists were the members of the Jewelry & Metal
Arts Club of Southwestern College. The jewelry program at Southwestern
is small but vital, training Chula Vista and San Diego residents to
create their own unique visions
in the
medium of non-ferrous metal. Twice a year the Jewelry & Metal
Arts Club (current students and alumni) gather to sell their
work, donating 25% of the proceeds to the program. This fundrasing
effort enables the jewelry program at Southwesten to purchase much-need
tools, equipment and supplies. Stop by to see their work, learn more
about the program, and buy some beautiful handmade jewelry.
