Shadows and Reflections
March 6 – April 25, 2026
SRAC’s Bi-Monthly Small Works Show
Exploring the impact of light on surfaces and various subjects.
Shadows may create abstract images suggesting the presence of something not fully seen or a portal to another dimension.
Reflections offer visual interpretations that can alter and even distort the presence of a scene or object and suggest other meanings, pushing against the boundary that separates truth from illusion.

A Many Splendored Spring
April 3 – May 30, 2026
Entries will be accepted on Sunday March 29 11am-3pm
Artists Reception Friday April 3 5-8pm
Always it’s spring and everyone’s in love and flowers pick themselves.”
e.e. cummings
The Santa Rosa Art Center welcomes the new season with “A Many Splendored Spring.” Art for the show will focus on the stunning revival of life and light that underpins a new season of rebirth and growth, changing colors and forms.
Spring is a season in synch with the year’s rhythm of universal impulses. It is, as described by Odilon Redon, a continual center of sensations, always pliant and hypnotic. Artists present spring’s revel and renewal through the recovery of a visible drama that Milton Avery once described as “the visible drama of mountains, trees, and bleached fields with the fantasy of wind blowing and changing colors and forms.”
