Community Arts Exhibitions

Our Community Arts Exhibitions program is an opportunity for our teaching artists, classes, and students to share their work with the larger community. Art exhibitions are organized quarterly across four locations in Walnut Creek - City Hall, Civic Park Community Center, Boundary Oak Golf Course, and Shadelands Art Center. Our curators are teaching artists from Center for Community Arts who are familiar with our creative community and are aligned in our vision to create equitable opportunities to exhibit artwork from a range of our students and teaching artists.
