Art & Wind Festival Featured Artist Jeffrey Brewer will be exhibiting at the Lindsay Dirkx Brown Gallery at the San Ramon Community Center (12501 Alcosta Blvd) for the month of May.

I am inspired by cool looking things, and I want to make cool looking things. I have a personal attachment to most of my works, and I am driven to make more of them. Who knows what comes next ?? Otherwise, just a regular person, muddling through life, paying the bills, and throwing myself into all sorts of projects and endeavors. Always learning, speaking my heart, correcting my spelling.

Nataliya Soboleva is exhibiting her paintings at the San Ramon City Hall Gallery from May 1-29.

My works are a celebration of the subtle beauty that permeates our daily lives. I find inspiration everywhere, from the intricate patterns of a dried plant to the fleeting colors of a storm-filled sky and the fluid dance of light on water. This exhibition is a culmination of that ongoing observation, a collection of works that celebrate the overlooked details of our world. Through a diverse range of physical media from simple charcoal to the soft colors of pastels to the rich texture of oil paint, I strive to capture the inner beauty of my subjects. My works are rooted in foundational skills and techniques I've honed through years of practice and inspired by the timeless precision of the Old Masters. This body of work is an invitation to pause, look closer, and find the extraordinary within the ordinary.

Anna Blazhiyevska has a solo exhibit featuring her canvas paintings at the Alcosta Senior & Community Center Gallery from May 1-29.

As a native Ukrainian, I juxtapose the centuries-old European folk tradition of painting on wooden eggs with the practice of painting on canvas. By painting on an organic, curved surface instead of a flat canvas, my miniature 'eggscapes' represent the beauty of natural landscapes while echoing the Earth's curvature. I like working with wood because it’s a warm material that evokes a feeling of sunlight. Through my work, the traditions of the old world are placed side-by-side with a modern style of painting. In my canvas paintings, I combine living and inanimate nature. Exploring these opposite sides of life, I aim to reveal the magic in the complexity around us. Each painting becomes an experiment, allowing me to explore relationships between simple objects and their place in my world.

Livermore based watercolor artist Meghana Mitragotri will open her Livermore home art studio to the public for a Mother’s Day Open Studio, April 17–19.

Welcome to the Dublin San Ramon Women’s Club Annual Youth Art Exhibit — a celebration of creativity, imagination, and the unique voices of our youth. This long standing exhibition proudly features artwork from students across the Dublin School District and the San Ramon Valley Unified School District, spanning grades K-12.

Each piece on display reflects the diverse perspectives and talents of our young artists, capturing their thoughts, emotions, and visions through a wide range of artistic mediums — The subject matter is as varied as the artists themselves, offering glimpses into personal experiences, cultural heritage, social issues, and the boundless wonder of the world around them.

This exhibit honors the power of artistic expression in education and the importance of nurturing creativity from an early age. It is a testament to the dedication of our students, educators, and families.

This exhibition brings together the voices of young artists from the Tri-Valley, ages 8–18, who use art as a way to share their stories, experiences, and perspectives. Each piece reflects a personal journey—whether it is rooted in childhood memories, family traditions, daily life, or questions of identity and belonging. Many works also highlight the artists’ awareness of the world around them, addressing environmental concerns, gender issues, and the role of community in shaping who they are.

Through drawing, painting, sculpture, and mixed media, these local children reveal how deeply they care about their surroundings and how thoughtful, curious, and creative the next generation can be. Their art not only captures the spirit of growing up in the Tri-Valley, but also offers a glimpse into the hopes, challenges, and imaginations of today’s youth.

Fresh Works Jr. is a group exhibition for youth and teens K -12 grades from all over the Bay Area. Named after the gallery’s popular annual Fresh Works exhibition which is a juried show for emerging and established adult artists, the juniors’ edition celebrates the vast talent of young artists throughout the greater Bay Area. A diverse presentation of all mediums and subject matters including paintings to ceramics, approximately 100 works by 40 youth artists will be on display at the gallery until Saturday, May 23, 2026.
