The Manhattan Beach Art Center proudly presents the 2025 Annual Community Exhibition, a vibrant showcase celebrating the creativity and talent of our local arts community. This year’s exhibition features the work of 115 artists who live, work, and play in Manhattan Beach, reflecting the rich diversity and dynamic spirit of our coastal city.

Spanning a wide range of mediums—including painting, sculpture, photography, ceramics, mixed media, and more—this exhibition offers a unique opportunity to experience the artistic voices that shape and inspire our community. Whether emerging or established, each artist contributes to a collective portrait of life in Manhattan Beach through their individual perspectives and creative expressions.

More than just an exhibition, this annual tradition is a celebration of community pride, creativity, and the meaningful connections forged through art.

The Annual Community Exhibition will be exhibited at the Manhattan Beach Art Center, located at 1560 Manhattan Beach Boulevard, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266.  The event is free and open to the public. For further information about the exhibition and the Manhattan Beach Art Center, please visit the Current Exhibition webpage or contact Cultural Arts Supervisor Randy Niessen.
