About ASiF...
The Artists’ Studio in the Foothills (ASiF) Art Center is a 4000 square foot, fully equipped studio art center and home to over twenty studio artists in shared and private studio spaces. The center features a beautiful light filled gallery and three spacious classrooms, offering classes and programs for all ages in drawing, painting, printmaking, mosaics, jewelry, metal arts, pottery, ceramic sculpture, mixed media and more.
ASiF opened its doors in 2008 with a mission of creating a center for visual artists, providing a professional studio atmosphere and creative home for working artists, teachers and students - - a place where art can be made, displayed and appreciated! Now heading into it’s 14th year, our center is deeply rooted in its mission to nurture the creative spirit of its community. It has become a much loved arts Mecca and educational facility for adults and children of all ages. Offering weekly meeting space for adult art groups, in-school and after school art programs, field trips for local public and charter schools and summer art camps for kids of all ages - - ASiF serves as a conduit for local and regional visual artists to support each other and themselves through teaching and selling - and through connection with the community at large.
