About
Why We Believe
The vision of the Coastal Arts League is to be the free Public Art Gallery of Half Moon Bay. Exhibits change every month and admission is always Free. Visitors find original art, handmade gifts, and jewelry at affordable prices in the 300 Main Street Gallery.
Community activities include free Adult Art Classes at the Senior Center, and Art Supplies for Classroom Teachers at five local schools. The annual CUSD Student Art Show celebrates student voices. Juried shows, Club shows, Benefit shows and Member exhibits support local artists living and working on the Coastside.
Our donors know the importance of having a public art gallery in Half Moon Bay, and together we raise awareness of the importance of art as part of a healthy life. We reach out to people at home with online resources for art activities that the whole family can enjoy.
Tax-deductible gifts help to keep the gallery open five days a week. Fundraising accounts for about 25% of our annual budget, mostly from individual donors. In the Spring, we participate in Coastside Gives, the community-wide campaign to support local nonprofits. Then in the autumn, we have the annual membership campaign.
Board Members: Jane Lewis, Betsy Harms, Thomas Goodson, Lu Chang, Peter Harames, Steve Rossi
Testimonials
Coastal Arts League is 100% volunteer-run and 100% community funded. Thank you!
Mary Bennett says, " We wanted to send over a little thank you! My daughter came across your family art page https://www.coastside-artists.com/art-resources.html. It's led her to tons of awesome guides and she has learned so much from it! She refers to your resources quite a bit and I'm pretty sure she never closes the tab."
Judy Lurie says, "Painting along the spectacular coast around Half Moon Bay is truly a spiritual experience, a way of deeply appreciating the beauty of the area where we are lucky enough to live."
Giving Activity
Mission
Recognizing the power of arts and artists to create positive change in the world, the mission of the Coastal Arts League is to encourage and support visual artists, with tools to make a living and a life, and to build a community full of meaning, joy, and connection.
Our vision is to be the Public Art Gallery of Half Moon Bay, providing public access to art. Everyone is invited to visit our Main Street gallery and admission is always free.
We cooperate with other community organizations to provide education programs for students and adults. We collaborate with Senior Coastsiders, CUSD, HMB High School, and downtown art galleries. We reach out to people at home with online resources for art activities that the whole family can enjoy. Look for Art Resources on our website, Coastside-Artists.com.
