November 1-December 1, 2013

Opening reception:  Friday, November 1, 6-9pm

Hours: Friday-Sunday, 12-3pm (closed 11/29)

801 Magnolia Avenue, Piedmont, CA  94611

The Piedmont Center for the Arts is honored to have Rene de Guzman, Senior Curator of Art, Oakland Museum of California, selecting works for our first juried art exhibition, entitled Return to Simplicity.  The theme is meant to reflect the current emphasis on a return to basics, much like there was during the Arts & Crafts movement of the early 20th century where artists found refuge in using organic materials and handcrafted products. Open to artists working in all 2 dimensional media and living in Bay Area.  This juried show offers a window into the most current developments in contemporary art of the region.
