About the Aromas Hills Artisans
Aromas Hills Artisans was founded in February of 2000 to unite the tri-county Artists from Monterey, San Benito and Santa Cruz Counties with other Artists and their communities. We have monthly gathering with all of our Artists at the Aromas Grange on the first Wednesday of the month at 7pm. There's a map on the Contact Us page.
We enjoy many group activities and festivals throughout the year such as Aromas Country Garden Tour, Aromas Day, Autumn Art Workshops & Raffle, Open Studios and Holiday Art Fair. We also have a monthly "Paint Out", a wonderful opportunity for Artists to get together in a natural setting and compose "Plein Air" paintings. Click on the link to view AHA"s Events calendar.
