The Carnegie Arts Center, in partnership with the Mistlin Gallery, is ready to debut the works collected for the second annual Central California Arts Showcase.

The exhibit opens at the Carnegie April 1 and will run through May 8.

The juried exhibition is a collaboration between the visual arts galleries celebrating regional artistic excellence.  For this show both galleries will be exhibiting works selected by a single panel of judges.

“We think this creates an exciting opportunity for all Central California artists,” said Carnegie Director Lisa McDermott. “The main goal of this collaboration is to highlight the importance of the arts across our entire region.”

The judges for the 2015 Showcase are Karen Kienzle, Director of the Palo Alto Art Center, Dennis Lewis, an award-winning painter, and Ronda Schaer, owner of RASgalleries in Napa.
