Arts Benicia is pleased to announce the opening of Cream -from the top.
The goal of this exhibition, which is in its third year, is to introduce
the artists that have risen to the top of their respective classes in
five Bay Area graduate arts programs: The San Francisco Art Institute,
The California College of the Arts, U.C. Berkeley, Mills College, and
Stanford University. Artists include: Frank Abruzzese, Leslie Awender,
Sarah L. Barsness, Steven Budden, Omar Chacon, Freddy Chandra, Daniel
Cox, Binh Danh, Bryan Hewitt, David O. Johnson, Tae Kitakata, Sean Olson,
Julia Page, Sue Pak, Alison Petty, Molly Springfield Jackie Sumell and
Sonja Thomsen.
Kathryn Weller-Renfrow, Arts Benicia’s Artistic Director, attended eight
Masters of Fine Arts exhibits in the region and reviewed the work of
dozens of artists, selecting work to be shown at Arts Benicia. The astonishing
diversity of creative vision in the graduate programs is well represented
and continues to present viewers with compelling innovations in traditional
and non-traditional media and imagery. Many of the artists chosen for
the past two Cream exhibitions have already achieved notable success
in their careers, receiving honors, awards, and shows all over the world.
Arts Benicia Gallery
is located at 991 Tyler Street, Suite 114 in Benicia, California.
Gallery hours: Friday, Saturday and Sunday, noon to 4 p.m. and by appointment.
