OUR STORY
In 1984, A.R.T., Inc. was founded by a group of artists at the Adobe Art Gallery in Castro Valley. The organization promotes art by encouraging artists to meet and exhibit their work. The group offers free art demonstrations, community exhibits, and social events.
A.R.T., Inc. is associated with the Castro Valley Unified School District, which provides access to the Adobe Art Gallery and with Hayward Area Recreation & Park District, which provides access to the Adobe Art Center.
