Dear CHAC Community,
CHAC is very excited that we are busy getting situated in our new home! We invite everyone to our Member Open House Sept. 14th from 5pm-8pm to celebrate with us. We are very happy to join the Santa Fe Arts District community again. CHAC has really appreciated being a part of the 40 West Arts District, and we will still be keeping a small education studio in the 40 West Arts District. This space will be used for educational programming. There is going to be wall space available to be rented by individual CHAC artists (or 2 partnering CHAC artists) for 6 weeks at a time and will have an information tab on the CHAC website. For more information please contact brenda@chacgallery.org.
The first exhibit at CHAC's new home will be for Dia de Los Muertos "Life, Death and Rebirth: Vida, Muerte y Renacimiento". The opening and community celebration will be Oct. 6th from 6pm-9pm. Please read below to see the Call-for-Entry for CHAC Artists.
