cultivating the forefront of the art movement. Being few art galleries in Santa Cruz, many good artists are unable to display their works locally. At Caffe Pergolesi, we decided to host a venue where local street artists and art majors from UC Santa Cruz could have a place to show their art.
City Art Gallery "...Almost 200 local artists are members of City Art Cooperative Gallery.... Member artists belong to CITY ART because it's a cooperative gallery, owned and operated by local artists. They like the idea of making their artwork accessible and affordable to hundreds of potential art buyers each week. In addition to selling their art, they understand the importance of belonging to a network of peers who promote and support their creativity....
