Upcoming Arts Events

This November, Center REP brings the internationally acclaimed theatrical ghost story to Walnut Creek—The Woman in Black.

The second longest-running play in the history of London’s West End, The Woman in Black is the chilling theatrical event that has kept over seven million theatergoers on the edge of their seats for more than 30 years. Center REP audiences will be lured into the pulse-pounding and spine-tingling ghostly world of their own imaginations… what happens next is something you must see to believe! Tickets are limited–order online.

	On view through December 14, Observations of a Still Life explores the enduring relevance of the still life. The artists in this exhibition deftly navigate our chaotic environment, transforming ordinary items into objects of curiosity and, at times, obsession.
Public Art Walking Tour Saturday, 11/15, 10:00 AM Focusing on public art found along downtown’s Main Street and Public Library, these 1 hour walking tours of Walnut Creek's downtown public art are led by trained public art specialists and offer information and insight for all ages. >> Learn More
