Upcoming Arts Events

ACC website main 1182 x 500

This holiday season, Center REP has assembled an award-winning team of artists for an all-new production of the treasured holiday classic, A Christmas Carol.

In this heartfelt and exceedingly lively new adaptation, a young Tim Cratchit makes a wish on a candle, invoking a series of ghostly visitors to the bedside of miserly Ebenezer Scrooge. With a “humbug!” on his breath, the curmudgeon is whisked away on a journey of awakening. Don’t miss the Bay Area’s grandest telling of Dickens’ classic in this not-to-be-missed premiere production–order tickets today.

 Bedford-Observations of a Still Life  

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.
