The Bay Area has been known for
artistic innovation and excellence from the time of the Society of Six a century ago, to the Bay Area Figurative Movement of the 1950s and ‘60s; today, the
tradition continues in the Lamorinda area, which boasts an unusually high
concentration of highly skilled painters, sculptors, photographers, jewelers
and ceramists.
Once a year, the works of this
diverse group of artistic talent can be seen concentrated in a few locations:
the Lamorinda Arts Alliance Open Studios, which will be held this year at 9
locations in the Lamorinda area. The work of 29 artists will be available for
viewing and for sale from 11 AM – 4 PM on Saturday October 19. and Sunday
October 20; it’s a wonderful opportunity to sample the rich array of local
talent, as well as get a jump on holiday gift purchases!
The 2013 Open Studios event will
kick-off with a reception and showing of selected artwork at the Orinda Library
on Thursday October 17 from 5:30 – 7:30 PM. Come and sample some delicious
wines and cheeses, meet and talk to the artists, and decide where to go to see
more of their work over the weekend
This once-a-year opportunity to
see the rich collection of artworks produced by 29 of our local artists is not
to be missed! Save the date now to sample wine and cheeses at the Orinda
Library on Thursday, October 17, and visit the 9 Open Studio locations over the
