Sol Treasures

Founded in 2008 by three local artists, from left to right: Mrs. Barbara Pekema, Mr. Bruce Graham, and Mrs. Sonia Chapa

SOL TREASURES HISTORY

Sol Treasures started as a local home for artists, and slowly grew to become an art gallery, which then began to sell local consignment artists’ work in what became the Sol Treasures gift shop

Provides art instruction in schools through contracts with the districts, reaching all the way down into the rural parts of the county including Bradley, San Lucas, San Ardo and San Antonio

Since 2010, Sol Treasures has done over 20 musical productions, and several backyard musical reviews and concerts over the years, and has bussed in thousands of children from south county elementary schools to view the shows at the historic Robert Stanton Theater

Offering 26 – 29 after-school classes weekly in schools and housing projects, serving 300 participants weekly in Sol Treasures Programs
