Dear Members and friends –

We look forward to 2021 with hope in our hearts and with our fingers crossed.

The pandemic has forced some changes. Last year we had four online exhibits, and this year we are planning to launch four more, including one juried show. The fifth members’ online exhibition, New Beginnings, is now displayed on our website and can be seen until April 30.  

In 2021, we are offering members a new opportunity: solo shows. Our website will display up to 6 artists’ artwork every two months. Each artist will present eight works with a bio and their contact information. The first solo exhibits will be online from February 1 to March 31. There are still 4 slots available. If you are interested in participating, please email your request to artinccv@gmail.com to get an entry form.

In addition to online art, we still have one venue open for an actual on-the-wall exhibition: Baywood Court, a retirement community in Castro Valley. You can show 15-20 works, and where the residents thoroughly enjoy seeing the ever-changing paintings. If you’d like to get on the exhibit schedule, contact Al Murdach at allisonandjo@hotmail.com.

​

We are looking forward to a new year of creating and supporting our community. Our artist demos are coming back; we will keep you posted with updates. We encourage all our members to try new things, share their work, and (even in a pandemic) take time to enjoy one another. After all, that’s what A.R.T., Inc. stands for: Artists Relaxing Together.

Health and happiness to all.
