Annual Board Elections

Please join us at the April in-person member meeting to participate in the annual nominations for Board of Directors and Committee chairs.

The pandemic threw the Orange Art Association (OAA) off track and the annual elections were put on hold. OAA is aiming to grow the membership, get back on track, and infuse the association with new people and new ideas.

Local artists: If you are considering joining Orange Art Association, now is the perfect time to get involved!

How can you get involved? It starts with just showing up on Monday March 10th at up at 7pm at the Community Christ Church (395 S. Tustin St. in Orange). We meet in the back building, through the gate, to the left. Attending a member meeting as a free guest (available 1 time to each person) will allow you to get to know some members and learn a bit more about OAA.

February, March, April, May, June, September, October, November, December
