    Sanchez Art Center will host its signature event of the year, the twelfth annual Arts on Fire gala reception Friday, April 25, from 7 to 9 p.m. This event has become a Pacifica tradition that promises an evening of art, music, entertainment, and treats for the entire community. All events are free and open to the public.

    The juried Arts on Fire XII exhibition, with artists drawn from all over California, will be on display through May 31, with galleries open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m.

    Juror Scott Shields selected 45 pieces out of 231 entries submitted by 84 artists. Thirty-three artists are represented in the exhibition. Shields is the chief curator of the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento and author of "Artists at Continent's End: the Monterey Peninsula Art Colony, 1875-1907." He will give a Curator's Talk on Saturday, April 26 at 11 a.m. at Sanchez Art Center.

    Arts on Fire XII will fill both the Main and West Wing Galleries, while the East Wing Gallery will present an exhibition by Alexandra Ostroff and Zachary Williams, the award winners selected last year by Peter Selz, juror for the 2007 Arts on Fire XI.

    The gala opening night spectacular will feature the popular Asia & Arabesque Belly Dance troupe, the Temple of Poi, and the Terra Nova High School Drumline and Jazz Band under the direction of Michael Pens. The reception will feature music by Vivace, an eclectic mix of classical, Brazilian, and jazz performed by Pacifican Rob Hughes on flute and saxophone and Michael Schillaci of San Francisco playing acoustic and steel string guitar. These spectacular performances will take place throughout the evening, and families with children are especially encouraged to join in the activities.
