Themes are for people who don't live dangerously and the artists at Studios on the Park like to live a little dangerously. Through Jan. 13, they'll be host to an exhibit of work titled "Expressions," which has no theme; artists simply have to follow the basic rules of composition, line, and color. Come see some unruly art in The Showroom, Studios on the Park is at 1130 Pine St. in Paso Robles. For more info, visit ww.studiosonthepark.org.

Outsiders might be surprised to learn that Paso Robles can get pretty cold in the wintertime. Like ... frost on your windshield cold. Hey, don't laugh! In California, that might as well be a blizzard. But the folks at Studios on the Park have managed to keep things nice and toasty inside with "Handcrafted for the Holidays," which features works for sale by 13 of California's finest artists, with 40 percent of the commission being collected for Studios on the Park's ongoing efforts to support some incredible artists' endeavors, their open studio facility, and educational programming for the general public within the community. In addition to handling all the sales, they'll also be on hand to gift-wrap. Come in, grab a gift, ogle some really fine work, and support the local arts! Come to 1130 Pine St. in Paso Robles. For more info, call 238-9800.

As the annual Paso Robles Holiday Parade rolled down Spring Street last Saturday, December 1, Studios on the Park did a bit of its own celebrating. Small Treasures ran through Sunday, December 9 at the artist's nonprofit, located at 1130 Pine Street.
