The Lafayette Art Gallery's newest show, titled "12x12," opened Jan. 12 and features small works all done in a 1-foot by 1-foot format - just right for affordable gifts of original art, or to add to or begin a fine art collection.

Exhibiting artists include: Susan Erickson, who paints fun and whimsical yet very sophisticated pieces; David VanderJagt, a well-known local ceramicist who is also chair of Friends of the Arts in Walnut Creek; Geoffrey Meredith, who paints in oils and is also a commissioner of the Arts and Culture Commission of Contra Costa County; and Judy Miller, who is a wonderful sculptor and was one of the original founders of the Lafayette Art Gallery.

Some other, larger works in a square format will also be on display. In addition, a talented group of local member artists will be exhibiting numerous new works in various mediums: ceramics, glass works, sculpture and jewelry. Since its inception in 1999, the Lafayette Art Gallery has presented over 130 different shows of local artist's works, continues to extend the member artists' expertise to dozens of community groups and non-profit organizations.

In addition to the current exhibit, a Valentine's Day-themed reception called "Bubbles, Baubles and Bling" will be held from noon to 6 p.m. Feb. 6, with extra emphasis on jewelry and gifts. New gallery hours are from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sundays. Closed Mondays. The gallery is located at 3420 Mt. Diablo Blvd., in the historic Forge.
