Bridge to Art

Bridge To Art spawned from a coffee house conversation between local artist, Melanie Hamilton and Kevin Lawrence Santos-Coy (KLSCstudio).

Santos-Coy, a Sacramento native, after recognizing there was a disconnect between artists and the community as a whole, has been involved with Sacramento’s 2nd Saturdays since 1990.

Melanie Hamilton, a fabric artist and literary extraordinaire worked with Santos-Coy to develop the Bridge to Art name and mission statement to identify the need and consider the way to “bridge” the communication gap between Artists, Galleries, Communities, Municipalities, the State Capitol, and the rest of the planet.

Santos-Coy has consistently perpetuated this greater understanding of this concept through the intellectually challenging exhibitions that Bridge to Art has produced throughout the past twenty years.

Bridge to Art believes that this approach to "relationship exercising" is the ultimate success of their programming and events. It is with this new sense of clarity experienced together that Bridge to Art hopes to evoke a more culturally healthy community.
