The founding members envisioned a gallery that would support art and artists. The Gallery features work in oil, acrylic and watercolor painting, pastels, printmaking, mixed media, collage, sculpture, pottery, woodworking, glass and jewelry. In 2002, the Gallery opened an outdoor Sculpture Garden.
The Lafayette Gallery was formed in collaboration with the Lamorinda Arts Alliance, a non-profit organization of over 150 artists in Contra Costa and Alameda Counties. The Gallery collaborates with community organizations such as the Lafayette Library, the Orinda Library, and the Lafayette Art and Science Foundation. In addition, members’ work can be seen at Chow and Knoxx restaurants, and at the Lafayette Chamber of Commerce. The Gallery shares its building with the Art Room which provides art classes for children, teens and adults.
The new show will pair recent work with earlier work by the member artists. The book “Lafayette Gallery: Ten Year Anniversary”, will be available at the Gallery in September. The book will present work by all the current Gallery members as well as many Gallery Alumni.
In a joint exhibition, the Lafayette Gallery will be honored with a show at the Orinda Library, 124 Orinda Way, Orinda, California, from September 1st to 30th, 2009. The public is invited to a gala reception at the Orinda Library on September 10th from 6 – 8 pm.
