Art@Arc is the creative arts program within The Arc-Solano. Since 1995, Art@Arc has provided consumers with a safe, supportive, non-judgmental atmosphere in which they can explore their creative voices. The freedom to create and to make individual choices are the cornerstones of this program, which provides consumers with the opportunity to gain recognition and increase self-esteem.  The program curriculum currently includes painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, textiles, mosaic, and ceramics. Consumers exhibit their art in a variety of venues. Our Community Gallery provides a wonderful showcase with exhibitions planned throughout the year. Exhibits in public galleries, cafés, bookstores, etc., provide a valuable outreach to the community at large.   Art@Arc will be exhibiting at Umpqua Bank in February OPENING RECEPTION: Friday, February 27, 2009 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm at Umpqua Bank 976A Admiral Callaghan Lane, Vallejo, CA 707-553-6461 CELEBRATING CREATIVITY Artwork from local creative arts programs supporting adults with developmental disabilities       Presented by       Vallejo Artists Guild Featuring artwork from The Arc-Solano, Napa Valley Support Services - Brown Street Gallery, and Milestones of Development Contributing Artists from The Arc-Solano include Charles Armbrust, Robin Lee Clark, Monique Lynch, Louis Sauer, and Anthony Valentin Art will be available for viewing through March 27, 2009 during bank hours   Studio Director Tim Park recently illustrated the San Rafael Public Library's centennial celebration booklet, 100 Years Ago in San Rafael: A Front Row Seat for Lizzie.  It was published as an insert in the January 27, 2009 edition of The Marin Independent Journal newspaper and distributed to all area third grade classes.
