The Rancho Santa Fe Art Guild was founded in 1998 with a mission to  “embrace the visual arts, provide exhibit space, enhance community awareness and foster artistic skills.” In October, they wrapped up their Artist Demonstration series, a program that invites a Southern California artist to work in Rancho Santa Fe, allowing an audience of artists to observe techniques, ask questions and learn.
