Looking back at Friday’s Youth Arts Connection celebration and feeling profoundly inspired. Witnessing the dedication of our Executive Director, Jenny Balisle, and her unwavering commitment alongside the brilliant YAC artists reminds us why community arts programs are so vital!

Meet Alamo-based painter Gene Howard!

Gene has expanded his artistic creativity by participating in events such as the Danville Maker’s Market, the ADAS Blackhawk Gallery’s Primavera Spring Showing, and the John Muir Medical Center Winter Exhibit.

[ARTSCCC @_artsccc]

Currently, his work—characterized by highly textured abstract acrylics, can be found at the ADAS Blackhawk Gallery and JOR Fine Arts Gallery. When he’s not in the studio, Gene enjoys spending time at home in Alamo with his wife and their spoiled cat.
