June 10-11 and June 17-18, 11am-6pm all days
The East Bay Open Studios has offered a chance for art lovers to meet artists where they work for 40 years. For the first time, the event extends to the Livermore Valley with 12 area artists. The event runs each day from 11am to 6pm, with 6 of the local artists showing at the Bothwell Arts Center, 2466 8th Street, Livermore.
Enjoy a one-on-one interaction with artists from contemporary to traditional, pour painting to jewelry and more. Viewers can learn about artists' processes and inspiration, and in several cases, watch them demonstrate.
