A few years ago the Lafayette Art Gallery relocated to Mt. Diablo Blvd. from Lafayette Circle and they are now closing this Thursday, March 31st after being in the community for over 16 years.
From their website:
It is with sadness that the Lafayette Gallery will be closing on March 31, 2016. The good news is that some art will be on sale for 25% off till then. Look for a yellow dot to get a discount on that piece you have always wanted. If you see the yellow dot its on sale!
The website will stay up for a while so you can
still find your favorite artist via their website.
We have loved serving this community for the last 16 1/2 years! Look for each of us in other venues and events!
Thank you for all your support!

Friday, March 18th – Sunday, May 8th, 2016More than science is at stake when two women of different generations clash over what it means to be female. On the eve of a prestigious conference, an up-and coming evolutionary biologist wrestles for the truth with an established leader in the field. As the women thrash out their views, they struggle to find the middle ground between research and relationships. This intimate and keenly perceptive play by Sarah Treem (Netflix’s House of Cards, HBO’s In Treatment) explores evolution and emotion, and the difficult choices faced by women of every generation.
