Our Meet the Artists Reception for the Artists Embassy International January Art Show at Alameda Museum, Alameda, California, featured artists, poets and dancers from 13 years old to 89 (unless someone older didn't tell us.) Artists were mostly local to the Greater San Francisco Bay Area, but some member-exhibiters are from as far away as Canada and China. Artists Embassy takes pride in providing opportunities to all artists of all genres, ages and ethnicities.
