Ranjani Mohana - Past Events

What do you get when 67 artists each create a work of art a day for 50 days in a row? Pure eye candy!  You won't want to miss this show. Last year, 1000 people came to the Opening Reception.  It was a delightful surprise, but very crowded.

This year, we're anticipating the crowd and are doing our best to provide comfortable viewing and a smooth sales process. We've extended the hours of the Opening Reception and are providing the opportunity to see the show at a ticketed Preview. If you want to beat the crowd and have first choice of the over 3000 works that will be on display, you should attend the ticketed Preview on Thursday, July 29, 7 - 9 pm. Brownpapertickets.com is a great, user-friendly ticket outlet.  Tickets are limited, and your total price including sales charge is only $10.98. (Tickets will be $20 at the door, subject to availability.) Preview purchases will remain in place so that attendees of the Opening Reception will be able to see the show in its entirety.

Juried Exhibition: What Lies Above Below & Through


(an exhibition about surface, depth, opacity & transparency)

May 14th to June 19th.
Artist Reception May 28th, 2010, 5:30-9:00 in conjunction with the downtown Art Tour.

With this exhibition, we invited artists to contemplate the concepts of surface and depth, opacity and transparency. 31 artists, many from the tri-valley area but extending as far as Petaluma, Tiburon, San Francisco and the Central Valley responded with interesting works from metal sculpture, metal origami, textile art, collage and tissue paper art, mixed media, digital photography, plexiglass and layered paintings.

This will be an exhibit you should not miss. Please see our What Lies gallery to view a sample of each artist’s works.

With so many strong works submitted, we will be extending the exhibition to Panama Red Coffee Company, with a sampling of artists’ works up from the 17th of May through the 19th of June. Panama Red is located at First and K Streets in downtown Livermore. We applaud Panama Red for continuing to exhibit art in their shop and support community events with their ever-popular community posting board; we’d love to see more businesses do the same!
