The Essential Nude at the at Bothwell Art Center, Livermore

Co-sponsored by LAA. Receiving will be on the 11th. Reception and Awards ceremony will be on Thursday, the 15th from 7:00 - 9:00. Refreshments will be served. Come meet the artists! Artists across the centuries have celebrated the human form in an unlimited variety of styles and mediums. We are proud to supply our local talented artists with a venue where they can proudly display their nudes as well as clothed human forms. Last years show was a huge success and many of the artists were grateful for this opportunity. Many local venues don’t allow for nudity and artists are limited on where they can show them. “It’s nice to have an elegant outlet and opportunity to show and sell our work!” Artists interested in a prospectus should email for the PDF, Barbara Stanton at microangelo@earthlink.net or send a SASE to 1222 North P St. Livermore, CA 94551-1661.
