Art Exhibits

The Harrington Gallery is excited to welcome back the “Flora in Focus” group exhibition from January 10 until March 7, 2026. Featuring approximately 100 works of various mediums, 13 local artists will take part in this floral-themed show for the third year in a row at the Harrington Gallery. This collective was watercolorist, Meghana Mitragotri’s, dream project as she always wanted to bring to the community a flower-themed exhibition. For this presentation, she invited a group of local floral artists, all of whom are friends that have helped and supported her in her artistic journey. Working in acrylic, watercolor, East Asian brush painting, gouache, oil, colored pencil, and glass, the diversity in materials will be reflected in the varied portrayals of floral subjects. A focal point of this year’s show will be a group portrait of the Flora in Focus artists done by Tuan Karsevar. Emphasizing the beauty and wonder of flowers, the exhibition showcases the artistry of each artist in each of their representative mediums.

Live demonstrations will be held at the Harrington Gallery on select Saturdays by eight of the Flora in Focus artists. Sharing their artistic techniques and journeys, schedules for these demonstrations will be available on the Firehouse Arts Center website. Meet the participating artists at the exhibition reception on Saturday, January 31, 2026 from 1:00 – 3:00 P.M. at the Harrington Gallery. Light refreshments and raffle prizes will be provided at the event. Collaborative floral ikebana arrangements by Library and Recreation instructor Cindy Ting and her students will also be featured at the gallery during the week of the reception. Each floral display will be created in tandem with a piece of artwork from the exhibition. Registration for Ikebana classes taught by Ting are available at www.pleasantonfun.com.
