Art in the Library
As a regional cente
r for arts and entertainment, it is fitting that the new Walnut Creek Library showcase magnificent pieces of public art. As part of the public art process, an art selection panel selected 15 individual artworks by 11 artists, and one commissioned work for the new library. For more information about the art, download the press release.
The Walnut Creek Library and City of Walnut Creek are also introducing a new program: Exhibitions in the Library Community Art Gallery. As a proponent of creative expression and exploration, and to support appreciation of the visual arts, the Walnut Creek Library invites artists living or working in Contra Costa County to submit proposals for exhibitions in the Library Community Art Gallery located on the first floor of the library. The Library Community Art Gallery was created to present artwork for the encouragement and development of artistic expression, and to foster greater appreciation for art in our community.
The first exhibit will be work from the Valley Art Gallery, July 17 – September 11, 2010. Read more . . .
