Art show goes up Friday, May 2

The Tehama County Arts Council is proud to host 24 Red Bluff High School art students as “Artists in Residence” at the State Theatre, 333 Oak St., Red Bluff.

All artists are students of Wes Hendricks and have been learning their skills in his class throughout the year. The show will run from May 2 through July and will be accessible to the public whenever the theatre is open.

A special reception, hosted by the TCAC, will be held May 2 from 5-8:00 p.m. at the State Theatre. The public is invited to come see art from our county’s young artists.

The artists and TCAC wish to thank the Big Picture for providing framing for the show.

FREE — audition workshop for students
