About Arts Ambassadors
Since 2007, the Arts Ambassadors Exhibit & Reception has been held every Spring at the Art Gallery at the Orinda Library except in 2021 due to COVID-19 when we featured a virtual exhibit about Lamorinda art teachers who have nurtured student artists through the Arts Ambassadors program.
The exhibit is a wonderful way to provide the public with an overview of the visual arts programs in public schools in Lamorinda and to promote the value of including arts education as part of the general curriculum. It’s also an exciting and special opportunity for the students and their families to share their artistry in a professional gallery.
Over the years, Arts Ambassadors has been encouraged, expanded, and supported by organizations such as Orinda Network for Education (ONE), Lafayette Partners in Education (LPIE), Moraga Education Foundation (MEF), local parents, school districts, art educators and students, as well as LAC. LAC supports this event by donating and facilitating the use of the Art Gallery at the Orinda Library, which we curate every month, hosting receptions, and providing ribbons to be awarded to each student artist.
