GCDA 2025 Exhibition of Decorative and Fine Art Painting

The opening of the third GCDA Exhibition on July 18th was a big success, featuring 70 beautiful artwork entries expertly arranged and hung by the Fairfield Community Arts Center (FCAC), accompanied by a nice spread of hors d’oeuvres provided by the Center, and a steady flow of attendees. The show will remain open through Saturday, August 23rd. Please sign our visitor book when you visit the exhibit!
