Stencil Artisans League Inc.

Stencil Artisans League Inc. (S.A.L.I.), a nonprofit decorative arts organization, hosted the 22nd Annual Stenciling, Decorative Arts and Faux Finishing Convention and Exposition in San Francisco last July.

The six-day education and exposition trade show for muralists, faux finishers, paint contractors and other artists brought manufacturers, decorative arts schools, lecturers, product demonstrations and hands-on demonstrations to one location. A comprehensive array of classes taught by more than 50 renowned decorative artists and businesspeople targeted beginner, intermediate and advanced decorative painters. Classes for all levels were offered. Along with industry and manufacturer demonstrations, a hands-on “Play With Products” event allowed attendees to make samples using a variety of professional paints and plasters.
