AODC elebrates its 15 Year Anniversary on June 8th
Art On the Divide Cooperative Gallery proudly opened its’ doors in June 2010, and each year we celebrate the anniversary with a Garden Party. We invite you to enjoy refreshments, music, the heritage rose garden and ART on June 8th between 1 and 4 pm
The heritage rose garden should be in full bloom and we invite you to meander the garden and browse the art. Artists will have a selection of art available in the garden at special pricing under the shade of pop-ups. Enjoy the art on the featured wall and pedestals that will highlight the resident artists’ favorite pieces.
You may already know that AODC Gallery/DFAHS offers Art Scholarships to our local Divide Seniors. This scholarship has been lovingly named “The Terry Green Memorial Art Scholarship”. There are a few remaining stained glass pieces of Terry’s and they will be offered at special pricing. All proceeds from the sales of these pieces benefit the scholarship fund.
Many people refer to the AODC Gallery as the “Gem on the Divide”. We like to think so, and our annual party is a celebration of our community and a thank you to all of our supporters. We hope you can join us.
AODC Gallery is located at 6295 Main Street, Georgetown and the phone number is 530 333-2787. Gallery hours are Friday thru Sunday from 1-5.​​

Announcement of Scholarship Winners
The Divide Gallery, congratulate the three recipients of the “Terry Green Memorial Arts Scholarship”. They are (from left to right) Austin Cole, Isabelle Gerondakis, and Aubrey Stapleton. These outstanding graduates will each receive a $1,500 scholarship. Our nonprofit organizations get their funding from our members and our friends in this community. We would especially like to thank the friends of Karen Donaldson for their generous donation in her memory. We also thank the El Dorado County Historical Society for their donation. Each of our recipients found their creative passions at an early age. For Austin it was music (song and instruments), for Isabelle dance and choreography, and for Aubrey, a love to draw and illustrate stories. They went out of their way to find teachers and training to hone their craft at every opportunity: sometimes having to travel out of state, sometimes taking on part-time jobs to pay their way, while still maintaining a high level of academic scholarship. Highly motivated, they want more. They want the best that our colleges and universities can offer. This is what we also want for them—a chance to excel. So congratulations! Well done and well deserved. We wish you much success in perfecting your skills as creative artists.

AODC Celebrates more than a decade on the Divide, your local source for gifts and fine art...
We are excited that we were able to celebrate our 14th Anniversary on the Divide last June with a continued celebration of the Arts thanks to your continued support of the Art On The Divide Gallery.
​
AODC gallery currently has eleven local artists. As time has progressed our roster of active artists has changed as artists have joined or leave for various reasons. The one constant thing is the collavorative spirit in which we operate to help the arts thrive on The Divide. The gallery is always open to artists that provide something new and different. If you, or someone you know is looking to join the gallery , the application and information regarding membership is available here...
AODC artists continue to "refresh" the gallery monthly with new art. Providing the community with workshops to teach various art techniques and receptions to showcase the art are typical of our monthly offerings. We welcome feedback from the community to help us plan workshops. What would you like to learn? Past workshops have included jewelry, stained glass, mask making, collage and rose-pruning.Directly behind the gallery is a historic rose garden that is maintained by the artists. We have been fortunate to have the Divide Garden Club help with rose-pruning, and hope to continue with that collaboration. They have also been generous in awarding the gallery many years of grants to help with this maintenance.AODC gallery is pleased to provide a space for local student art, under the leadership of Susan Sasano, a local volunteer. She reaches out to our local schools and will switch out the artwork regularly.
