Art Exhibit Showcases Works from Artists of African Descent
(OAKLAND, CA) From April 16 to May 17, Laney College’s June Steingart Gallery will present a new exhibit: “Art in the Key of Life.” The exhibit features the artwork of six East Bay-based artists of African descent:

Paintings and sculptures on display aim to celebrate the transcendental powers of music, love, and spirituality.

The exhibit is free and open to the public.
An opening reception with the artists will be held on April 20 from 4 to 7 p.m.
