Arts Benicia is hosting The Art of a Community from January 31st through March 29, 2009. The Art of a Community is Arts Benicia’s annual open group show, featuring the work of Arts Benicia artist members. This year the organization is celebrating the 15th year of this remarkable exhibit, which features work by many studio artists in mid-career, beginners showing for the first time, and artists at just about every stage in between. Arts Benicia has many new artist members this year, so the already extraordinary pool of talent will be enhanced by some fresh new currents.
On February 7th, 2009 at 7:30 p.m. Arts Benicia will host a reception and party, The Heart of a Community, with live music. This event is open to members and all those wishing to meet and support the exhibiting artists who are at the heart of Benicia’s art community. The event will also be a chance for community members to join Arts Benicia and help the organization in its work supporting the visual arts in Benicia and the region.
