New Show Opens at Martinez Gallery

The show features art with subject matter connected to Martinez, such as martinis, the waterfront and the surrounding hills. Anyone visiting the gallery will see a variety of artworks — from painting, photography and art glass to jewelry and fabric art — and will have the opportunity to meet and chat with one of the artists who regularly staff the gallery. A wide range of fine art and affordable gift items are offered.

The artist co-op and gallery was founded in 2007, and currently has 20 members (all are members of the Martinez Arts Association), vetted by a jury of their peers. Currently located at 630 Court Street, the gallery will be moving soon to 610 Court Street (corner of Escobar). The non-profit gallery is a branch of the Martinez Art Association (MAA) and donates 15% of sales as Art Grants to local schools. Open Monday-Saturday from 11a-3p.
