"OC Coast Print Series" by Joe Cladis closes
- Date: 05/03/2019 (all day)
- Location: Newport Beach Central Library
1000 Avocado Avenue
Newport Beach, California 92660
The Newport Beach City Arts Commission presents an exhibition of art prints depicting the Orange County Coast by artist Joe Cladis, on display at the Newport Beach Central Library gallery.
As long as he can remember, Joe Cladis has loved to draw. That love led him to Art Center College of Design in Pasadena where he majored in Advertising with a minor in Illustration. Since that time he has spent his life working in the visual arts as a fine artist, graphic designer and illustrator. Having lived in Orange County for over 35 years, Joe has come to love the uniqueness of each of it’s coastal towns and communities. This passion led him to create the OC Coast print series.
“The Orange County coast has so many iconic communities, each with their own personality and style. Capturing the essence of each one is a fun, artistic challenge for me.” - Joe
The exhibition will be on display during library operating hours, March 4 through May 3, 2019.
