Local Artists to Take Over Museum for One Day in Free 4 All

Saturday, July 19, 4-9 p.m.

Claremont Lewis Museum of Art, 200 W. First St., Claremont, CA

Local artists will take over the Claremont Lewis Museum of Art in a one-day pop-up show on Saturday, July 19, 4-9 p.m. The popular Free 4 All event returns this summer with no fees to exhibit and no gatekeepers to decide who is allowed to show their work, hundreds of artists are expected to participate in this annual event.

Free 4 All is a commitment to unfiltered community building. Artists of all ages are invited to deliver ready-to-hang work to the Museum on Friday, July 18, 7 a.m.-4 p.m. Only one artwork per artist will be accepted. Work must be able to hang from one nail on the wall (no pedestal or floor displays). Size is limited to 24” in any direction and must be appropriate for a family-friendly audience.

CLMA will celebrate the amazing cultural bounty that surrounds us with free admission to the Museum, participatory art projects, custom t-shirt making, and live music by Truck Perry Trio and Honey Buckets. Refreshments will be available from partners Pizza N Such and Claremont Craft Ales. The exhibition is generously sponsored by WFIC.

The Museum would not exist without the support of a robust artist community. This exhibition is designed to foster that community by bringing together people of diverse backgrounds, generations, and talents.
