Hear ye, hear ye—a (slightly late) proclamation post!

April is Arts, Culture & Creativity Month in California, and Livermore has been celebrating in style.

Arts leaders from across the city gathered with Mayor John Marchand to honor the impact of the arts and the creatives who bring our community to life.

Livermore’s arts organizations continue to inspire, connect, and enrich our city every day. From performances and exhibitions to education and public art, the arts remain at the heart of what makes Livermore a destination for culture in the Tri-Valley.

Here’s to the artists, educators, and performers who make it all possible.

🎨 Call for Art – Deadline Extended to April 25

Art in America: 250 Years of Shared Creativity invites artists to reflect on the many stories, landscapes, traditions, and lived experiences that have shaped the American experience.

This exhibition explores how America has been seen, felt, and imagined over time—through rural and urban life, cultural traditions, historic moments, evolving social movements, industry and innovation, and everyday scenes that capture a sense of place. Both nostalgic and contemporary perspectives are encouraged, along with personal and community stories that reflect the nation’s diversity and complexity.

Submissions can interpret America broadly or intimately—symbolic, documentary, emotional, or abstract—offering many viewpoints on 250 years of shared creativity.

📅 Deadline extended: April 25
🖼️ On view: May 14 – July 25, 2026
