Art Students from Clayton Valley Charter High School
We invited art students from Clayton Valley Charter High School in Concord to participate in our show, Concord Arts Alive! Emerge - and we were so delighted with their work!
Including these budding and talented young artists was a way to exemplify the range of artists living in our community. It forges a new relationship with local arts and local education, and it helps create a beautiful bridge of generations among all the artists involved.
Here are a few of the students who came to the Artist Reception:
