Garden Gate Creativity Center's Grand Opening presents our wildly diverse and accomplished teachers and performers to the community at large. We will be showcasing our artists and demoing our classes over
the course of 2 days. As a gallery, we will have an Artists' Reception Saturday evening for our current exhibition of photography and sculpture. We also look forward to hearing from visitors and how they might participate in Garden Gate, since collaboration, based on a town
square model, is the foundation of our mission. Expect a very entertaining and stimulating weekend full of music, art, dance, refreshments, yoga, cooking and gardening demonstrations, excellent conversation and much more!
Garden Gate Creativity Center, a brand new arrival on the Bay Area arts scene, is fast becoming a locus of creativity throughout the area. Founded by musicians Diana Rowan (harp) and Rebecca Trujillo (piano), based on the concept of a perpetual salon, Garden Gate embraces all arts as mutually supportive and heightening. We host
classes, performances and happenings in music, fine art, photography,literature, tango, yoga, Latin dance, cooking, gardening and much more for all ages. As a gallery, we showcase the best of Bay Area art withimaginative curating.
Golden Gate Creativity Center encourages collaboration and reaches out enthusiastically to their community - their upcoming yoga/food class/wine tasting/live music weekend which partners with local stores, for example. Incredible acoustics, beautiful spaces and a great location are attracting many of the area's best performers, making Garden Gate a destination for both the seasoned musician and those just starting out on their artistic quest. Garden Gate is also available for rent for events. The gate is open!
