Visitors to the eight galleries between from now through Oct. 15 will be given a postcard passport and can collect a stamp from each gallery.

organizer and artist Samantha McNally said that the East Bay has a tight-knit art community.

“I felt by teaming up to create an East Bay Gallery Tour, we can best showcase our many talented artists and the wonderful galleries where their work is displayed," she said. "It’s a fun activity for friends and family to plan their Gallery Tour, and then enjoy the paintings, sculptures, jewelry, and ceramics on display."

Participants who have all 8 stamps in their Passport will drop them off at the last gallery they visit for a chance to win one of two $300 gift certificates to be used to purchase artwork from one of the participating galleries. The two winners will be chosen at random and announced soon after the East Bay Gallery Tour event is over.
