DISCUSSION:
The Newport Beach Art Exhibition and Sale is one-day juried exhibition that provides art lovers the
opportunity to view and purchase original paintings, photography and sculpture created by hundreds of
regional artists. A portion of the proceeds from the Newport Beach Art Exhibition and Sale is used to
fund Newport Beach community arts programs. The Call for Artists will be available in mid-February
2015. Artists will be able to register online.
In 2014, the exhibition and reception were held in the Civic Center Community Room on June 14th. Last
year’s event was very well-attended by the public and featured the work of 135 artists.
The Fine Arts Committee requests that the 2015 Newport Beach Art Exhibition and Sale be held on
Saturday, June 13th in the Civic Center Community Room, in order to take advantage of the typically
pleasant June weather and the amenities offered by the Community Room. It is also important to
provide continuity to the public and build upon the 2014 exhibition’s success.
