Art in the Community: Highlights from the 3rd Annual Student Show Reception
The art of more than a thousand students is on display during the Center’s 3rd Annual Art in the Community Student Show, running through Friday, May 29. To celebrate the exhibition’s opening, a free, public opening reception was held on Sat., May 9, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m.
This year the show doubled in size, featuring the ceramics, digital prints, metal works, prints, screen prints, murals, super hero costumes, floats, paintings, zines, collages, stop motion animation and mosaics of our after school and residency programs. More than 18 Richmond, San Pablo and El Sobrante sites were represented.
Two elementary student rock bands delighted the public. A band from Downer Elementary led by Mr. Christopher Read, and a band from Grant Elementary led by Mr. Thomas Prather performed in the painting studio.
