Event: Past
Free 4 All 2025
Local artists took over the Museum for our annual one-day pop-up show from 4 pm-9 pm. With no fees to exhibit and no gatekeepers to decide who is allowed to show their work, hundreds of artists participated in this annual event. Free 4 All is a commitment to unfiltered community building.
Over 1,100 visitors celebrated with free admission to the Museum, participatory art projects, custom t-shirt making, and live music by Truck Perry Trio and Honey Buckets. All three galleries were filled with hundreds of works by local artists. Refreshments were available from partners Pizza N Such and Claremont Craft Ales. The exhibition was generously sponsored by WFIC.
CLMA celebrated Free 4 All 2025 with a one-day pop-up show displaying work by 266 artists.
