Edges of Light: Family Day



Though we are used to seeing artists at the Arts Benicia gallery, last Sunday we got to play host to crowd of little artists! At our Family Day, kids and their families were invited to admire our new photography exhibition while creating amazing photographs of their own using a photo process called solarization.


In the end, this event was a hit, bringing families and friends together for a sunny afternoon of artmaking. We would like to give a big thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers that helped to make this event possible, and we hope to see you all at our next family day!

Edges of Light: Now Open!

On October 9, we hosted a reception to celebrate the opening of our new exhibition “Edges of Light”. Those who came had a night to remember, experiencing the medium of photography in a whole new way while partaking in delicious hor d’oeurves and engaging conversation.

“Edges of Light” features works by a diverse range of artists that challenge existing ideas about what photography is, what its supposed to look like, and what techniques and materials are possible in its creation. Come see the exhibition for yourself between now and November 6 at the Arts Benicia gallery! Open hours are 12:00 – 5:00 pm, Thursday through Sunday.
