Our goals are to “Build Community through Art” and support our Bay Area artists. We have new group exhibitions roughly every two months. Most of our exhibitions are blind juried and we use Art Call for our “Call for Entries.”
See a list of our upcoming exhibitions or contact us at [email protected] to be put on our artist email list.
The library receives a commission for any pieces sold to defray expenses associated with the exhibitions and to help support our library.

Color tends to pull viewers right into a work—it's often the first thing noticed. But help us understand more: Does your use of color capture feelings? Does it manipulate mood? Or is your love of color self-evident—you're a colorist, and we'd just get it?
From glowing, vibrant works that shape perception to muted, calm choices that still the viewer's mind, we invite you to share your palette play with us!
Palette in Play: How Artists Use Color
Color is the first thing you notice about an art work. But, as a critical formal element used in art making, artists’ choices for hues and saturations are signifiers. This exhibit is about how artists employ color, their relationship to it and how these palette choices impact the viewer.
