​“Pencil and Paint” Bay Area Exhibition
The Role of Drawing to the Creative Process in the Work of 6 Bay Area Artists

"The act of drawing is what locates, suggests, discovers. At times it seems enough to draw, without the distractions of color and mass. Yet it is an old ambition to make drawing and painting one." - Philip Guston
 
EXHIBITION: May 13, 2023 - June 10, 2023



-  "The vibe [at Arc] was open, friendly, and unpretentious, encouraging patrons and artists to explore, ask questions, meet the artists on display, and of course, appreciate art . . . maybe buying a piece or two." - 'SF Tao of Pao'

-  “Arc Gallery is a destination in San Francisco. Thanks for creating such a special place.” - Judy Shintani
