The Gallery Space, in the loft hallway above the lobby of City Hall, is the City's contribution to the Art in Public Places Program for the construction of City Hall in 2008. The Program requires certain developments to contribute 1% of construction costs to public art. The Gallery Space has had successful showings since its opening in October 2008, featuring local artists Charlotte Britton, Pam Fingado, Jana Bouc, Lin Salamo, Ed Kinney, Dug Waggoner, Joan Keyes, Sandi Potter, Lois Cantor, Kristin Satzman, Tomye', Helena Tiainen, Ed Franco, Paul Lupinsky Jeanne Rehrig, Dale Mead, Jan Wurm, Kevin Proctor, Mic DBernardo and Zohra Kalinkowitz and most recently Lorrie Fink.
The Arts and Culture Commission reviews submissions for the Gallery Space twice each year. Artists are invited to submit proposals at any time. Proposals must be received by Friday, May 4, 2012 to be considered at next review, which will be at the regular Arts and Culture Commission meeting in May 2012. Preference is given to artists who are residents of El Cerrito. Interested artists should provide a proposal including an electronic sample of their works of art to be presented to the Arts and Culture Commission for review and consideration. Guidelines for submission can be downloaded from the City’s website at
