Are you looking for ways to experience art in Mountain View? To complete this part of the Arts Challenge, you are welcomed to take the time to enjoy some of the visual art offerings available for free in the city.
Throughout the year, works of local artists are on display in the lobby of the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts (MVCPA) on a rotating basis. The lobby is open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 12 pm until 1:00 pm and one hour prior to every public performance. MVCPA is located at 500 Castro Street in downtown Mountain View (at the corner of Castro and Mercy Streets).
Currently, the work of Marianne Lettieri is featured in the MVCPA lobby. Ms. Lettieri creates dream-like, playful and enchanting collage assemblages, in a quirky style that recalls both American folk art and the work of the artist Joseph Cornell. Ms. Lettieri's exhibit will be on display through October 15.
From October 20 through December 20, the art of Brent Townshend will be on display at MVCPA. Be sure to see his mind-bending photographs of panoramic urban photographs, distorted with a fish-eye lens.
You can also bike around Mountain View and look at public art, on view 24/7, every day of the year. To plan your trip, please refer to the City’s new interactive Public Art Map. Click on any black circle with a number in it and you will see a photo of that art piece.
Both the art on display at MVCPA, and the public art on view in our parks and on or near our public buildings, are there for your enjoyment because of the support of the City Council and the City of Mountain View Visual Arts Committee. The Visual Arts Committee is dedicated to promoting the visual arts in our community, and guiding the City Council in their selection of artists for public art.
