Moraga Art Gallery revives popular tradition
Submitted by George Ehrenhaft
Early in 2020 COVID-19 put an end to the popular receptions held in conjunction with the opening of each new show at the Moraga Art Gallery. To express their gratitude for community support since then, the gallery's members cordially invite the public to a special reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, April 24 in the plaza in front of the gallery at 432 Center Street in Moraga's Rheem Shopping Center.
While some artwork will be displayed in the plaza, guests in limited numbers will have access to the gallery itself (masks required) to view the current show, "An Elegant Balance," featuring the work of two member artists: K. de Groot, who specializes in striking, Asia-accented necklaces, bracelets and other jewelry, and George Ehrenhaft, a watercolorist focused on California's matchless scenic beauty. In addition, the gallery has on display roughly 350 original artworks, large and small, by members and guest artists. Of particular note is the gallery's recently-opened "Art Boutique," containing an array of unique, locally-made gifts in wood, glass, ceramics, and other materials.
The gallery is now open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m., and also by appointment. For more information, call (925) 376-5407, or visit http://moragaartgallery.com or email moragaartgallery@gmail.com.
