The Bothwell Arts Center and the Silicon Valley Women’s Caucus for Art (SVWCA) announces a new exhibit entitled SWAN Day/Support Women Artists Now Art Exhibition. The exhibition is on display through May 4, 2015 at the Bankhead Theater, 2400 First St, Livermore. The Artists’ Reception is on Thursday, April 2 from 6:00-7:30 pm. The reception is free and open to the public.

SWAN Day is an international holiday designed to showcase the power and diversity of women’s creativity. Dedicated to raising awareness of women artists, SWAN Day (Support Women Artists Now) works towards developing opportunity and visibility for women artists. SWAN Day is officially on the last Saturday of March, but it is celebrated throughout the month.

Art in the exhibition represents artists from coast to coast, with the majority submitted by Northern California artists.

“I was very impressed with the quality of the work submitted and it has been a pleasure to see the range of images that tell a story of women’s creativity”, says Linda Ryan, manager of the Bothwell Arts Center and juror for the exhibit.

The Bankhead Theater hosts receptions for the rotating art exhibitions in the Lobby and Founder’s Room. These are free to the public and allow you to meet the artists and explore the exhibitions at your leisure. Proceeds from art sales benefit the Bothwell Arts Center.

The Bankhead Theater Art Exhibition program is managed by the Bothwell Arts Center with significant help from Livermore Valley Performing Arts Center, Bankhead staff and local volunteers.
