CAC Signature Artist Craig Nelson will present a special demonstration just for CAC members, during which he will create an enchanting landscape of the Santa Barbara coastline as he works at the Waterhouse Gallery.
Members are being provided exclusive access to this complimentary event (see zoom link for event below) due to the generosity of three CAC members: Craig Nelson and Ralph and Diane Waterhouse. The Waterhouses are the chapter chairs for the CAC Santa Barbara Chapter and the owners of the gallery, which has been a fixture in the Santa Barbara community since 1984.
