We are a volunteer organization, co-sponsored by the City of El Cerrito, that supports local artists through our programs and activities, El Cerrito residency is not required!

Our primary focus is our Annual Art Show of local artwork, with cash prizes and awards from local business and personal sponsors. We feature their websites on ours in appreciation for their support.

Benefits include discounted entry fees and an extra sales option at our annual non-juried art show the first weekend in October, rotating member exhibits at local venues, a plein air group and members’ booth spaces for the 4th of July celebration.

We invite you to support our artists and the art show we produce each first weekend in October at the El Cerrito Community Center. In return, your website will be listed on ours and you’ll be featured in the Treasure Hunt award search, a favorite fun activity for the public. Also, we will use your business card to create a display board of our supporters at the exhibit. Click on the Sponsor button above for information and form to submit.
