Please note that Sardinian Arts was originally incorporated with a distinct business license. The corporation (Sardinian Arts Inc.) was dissolved in 2017 and Sardinian Arts was continued under Kelly Manjula Koza’s business license #059325 in Walnut Creek from 2018 until 2023. Kelly has just moved and not yet established a business license — especially as this site and work are a conduit to understanding Sardinian handweaving, culture, and arts, and not profit-making.
