| About the Left Coast Annual Juried Exhibition
Springtine, a period of renewal. Bounding joyfully from the winter and bursting with color. A time for creativity to launch with a major exhibit of contemporary art at Sanchez Art Center.
The Left Coast Annual juried art exhibition has become a showcase for contemporary artists. Originally known (from 1996 – 2011) as "Arts on Fire" to celebrate the creative spirit that took form and manifested in the creation of Sanchez Art Center, the show has expanded from a San Francisco Bay Focus to include the creative works of artists on the cutting edge of the United States from California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Hawaii.
Forty to fifty pieces of art are selected each year by a distinguished juror representing the major museums and institutions of northern California.
