Painting as art, what is art, you can paint, objective art, art as healing, art as creative expression, art as a business, art galleries, art in your home, art in therapy, art for invocation, art as backdrops for dance and music, art auctions and so on.

E.J. Gold YOU CAN PAINT Class

Mill Street Gallery was the birthplace of the now famous YOU CAN PAINT! classes, actualizing E.J. Gold's assertion that there's an artist inside everyone. You simply need to give it permission to come out! Classes are now available on video and are taught every Saturday in Grass Valley at the Center for the Arts. Call Mill Street Gallery for more information. 530-271-2239. Bardo Tours
