EBAG’s December 2008 Show, “The Gift of Color” – A Rousing Success!
The East Bay Artists Guild show “The Gift of Color” at the Lindsay Dirkx Brown Art Gallery in San Ramon was a huge success in promoting the Guild and raising the awareness of the importance of art in the community. The exhibit was capped by a well attended artist’s reception on Saturday, December 20 that will go down in EBAG history as one of our best events ever.
Thirty two of EBAG’s 75 members exhibited a total of 69 pieces of wall art, plus two glass cases of ceramics and jewelry. Works exhibited ranged from oils and acrylics, to colored pencil drawings, abstracts, photographs and much more. Sixteen of the artists also brought in items for the reception’s small sales table.
The vibe at the reception was positive and the refreshments yummy. Many positive comments were overheard from the public in attendance.
