Main Street Arts in Martinez, at 613 Main Street, is not only a great source of fine art, created by local artists, its continuing community outreach activities make it an important addition to the area.
Festive Firsts…On the First Friday of each month, Main Street Arts can be seen highlighting one of its eleven members for the evening, as well as showcasing the varied works of its other talented members. The gallery offers up fine wine and hors d’oeuvres. (Provided bi-monthly by the very talented Kate and Catie!) These Friday events are new this year and have been a spirited addition to Downtown Martinez.
Giving back…The gallery participates in many other community activities, such as the Zombie Beer Crawl, Halloween Spooktacular, Holiday Sparkle Sip & Shop, the Santa Beer Crawl, and many other activities throughout the year. Main Street Arts donates artwork to local organizations for auctions and raffles. They provide funds for Alhambra High School Art Scholarship programs, and for local murals.

Coming up… November 1st through the end of December, the gallery will feature a “Black and White” theme on our “Guest Wall”. Each member of the gallery has submitted works in black and white. This promises to be a dramatic display of artists’ collective talents.
Tis the season…Holiday art will adorn the front windows of the gallery during this same time period. Our Christmas tree will be decorated with hand-painted and hand-sculpted ornaments. We have the perfect holiday gift for everyone on your list!
