About Lamorinda Arts Alliance

Founded in 1994, Lamorinda Arts Alliance is an organization of local artists and friends who reside or work in the San Francisco – East Bay area. Its purpose is to provide coordination, education and service in order to promote and increase knowledge, appreciation and practice of the arts, and to enhance the cultural development of Lafayette, Moraga, Orinda and the surrounding East Bay communities. The group seeks to foster a better appreciation and understanding of art within the community and encourage the exchange of ideas for the mutual benefit of all members through its programs, exhibits and other activities within the community. Among the benefits of membership in LAA is the opportunity to exhibit at LAA member shows. Members also have the opportunity to post their own gallery on the LAA website. Members are kept current of events and opportunities through direct email as well as through the newsletter that is distributed six times a year richly detailing all LAA events as well as member events.
