Santa Monica College's Emeritus College will hold its First Annual Art Exhibition — a juried show that includes works of many prominent artists — which will be shown at several stores along the Third Street Promenade and in Santa Monica Place.
The exhibit will be held from Sept. 15 through Nov. 22. The opening reception will be from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 15, starting at The Midnight Special Bookstore, 1318 Third Street Promenade in downtown Santa Monica. Viewers then follow an "art walk" that will take them to several other stores and end at the Community Focus Gallery in Santa Monica Place, where the largest concentration of works will be displayed.
Artists in the show include Henry Fukuhara, Lilian Molina and Joseph Palmer. Emeritus College is SMC's well-respected program that serves about 3,000 older adults with classes and special programs. The college recently purchased a new Second Street office building for Emeritus that will be completed early next year.
The exhibit is funded by the Stratton-Pettit Foundation Visual Arts Fund for Emeritus College.
