The Experience, Emeryville: Celebration of the Arts 40th Art Exhibition!

The Experience: Landmark exhibition  showcases 210 works by 106 artists connected to Emeryville. Immerse yourself in the Art Scene and celebrate Emeryville’s vibrant arts community! WHERE: 5905 Shellmound St, Public Market Emeryville. WHEN: October 3 through 25, 2026, 11am-6 pm. Wednesdays through Sundays. OPENING: Gala Opening Night Reception on Friday, October 2, from 6-9pm The 2026 Emeryville Art Exhibition will celebrate its 40th anniversary this year, marking four decades of bringing artists, residents, businesses and visitors together through one of the city’s most enduring cultural traditions. First presented in 1987, the exhibition was imagined when City leaders, interested in shaking the city’s reputation as a decaying industrial town, sponsored an art exhibition to ‘clean up’ the city’s image, highlighting Emeryville’s creative community while creating an event residents could proudly call their own. “The Emeryville Art Exhibition is what art has always been meant to be: accessible, inclusive, affordable and engaging,” said John J. Bauters, Director of Emeryville Celebration of the Arts. “Art is the medium through which ideas, perspectives, questions and emotions take form, and our exhibition is the forum where the community gathers to receive, discuss, embrace and share in them.”
