CURRENT EXHIBIT
Party of Your Imagination
The Marilyn Citron O’Rourke Art Gallery at the Benicia Public Library is pleased to present Party of Your Imagination, an exhibition of artwork celebrating the creative spirit of visual artists at Art@Arc, an arts program within The Arc Solano in Vallejo, California. The Arc Solano is a non-profit organization which for decades has planned, developed, and implemented programs and services for adults with developmental differences and their families.
Established in 1995, Art@Arc provides Arc Solano artists with a supportive environment where they can discover and explore their creative voices. The freedom to create and the freedom to make individual choices are the cornerstones of this studio program, providing artists with the opportunity to discover and develop their singular talents and to gain recognition, confidence and self-esteem.
Party of Your Imagination is a collection of work showcasing artists who are currently or have recently been working in this stimulating studio environment. The exhibition is a celebratory selection from the abundance of highly imaginative artwork being created there, and it will be on display from October 3, 2025 through November 6, 2025.
UPCOMING EXHIBIT
Kindred Spirits
Loretta Boyce and Jean Purnell present Kindred Spirits, an exhibition at the Marilyn Citron O’Rourke Art Gallery at the Benicia Public Library, November 12 through January 6, 2026. A public reception will be held on Sunday, November 16, from 2-4PM.
Loretta and Jean met a few years ago as classmates at Rossmoor Art Center, in Walnut Creek. By spring of 2023, they were regularly painting on location all over the East Bay. They found themselves to be kindred spirits, many times trying to meet up with a plein air group that could not find, and ultimately finding their own favorite places, up and down the coast, from Fort Bragg to Cambria. Both artists employ a "loose impressionist" style of artwork while also exploring more abstract ideas and ways of expression.
EXHIBIT DETAILS
Every fall the Art Gallery Committee meets to decide what projects will be displayed during the year. Exhibits appear for a period of four to six weeks.
Exhibitors are responsible for transportation, installation and removal of exhibits.
