FALLBROOK – Fallbrook Art Association has several upcoming events at their new Gallery facility at 300 N. Brandon Road. Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday.

General meetings are held at the Fallbrook Women's Club, 238 W.

The FAA will welcome Marian Seiders, an FAA member who will do a presentation on Pop Art at the FAA General Meeting May 21. Learn the origins and impact of Pop Art, its history and culture, some of the famous artists, their techniques and examples of their work. The morning demonstration is free and open to the public.

During the afternoon, registered workshop participants will be creating their own piece of Pop art on canvas using a variety of mixed media, paint, and objects with an emphasis on fun and creativity following Seiders's examples and suggestions. She is a retired art educator having taught middle school for 26 years with a B.A. in art history from Long Beach State University and a fine art teaching credential from Cal State Dominguez Hills.
