Each year the Center opens all of it doors for a single day so that the public can meet the 40+ artists who work at Angels Gate.  The Studio Artist Program at Angels Gate Cultural Center hosts artists working in all mediums – ceramics, painting, photography, sculpture, you name it, Angels Gate artists are doing it. 

There will be free demonstrations in all of our classrooms, featuring activities as varied as printmaking and Japanese archery.  Both the Center’s printmaking and visual arts classrooms will be hosting hands on demo workshops all day long, for adults and children.  From 11 AM – 2 PM, the Center’s performing arts space, Building H, will be hosting a series of demos by our Irish Dance, Karate and Japanese Archery programs.  At 2, 3 and 4 PM, in the Center’s kiln yard, artist Perry Okimoto will be demonstrating the art of Raku ceramics.
