Curator Susan Sarti and CVAF President Terry Liebowitz bring esteemed artists to Castro Valley. “We have rotating exhibits in the Center for the Arts’ Lobby and Exhibition Hall, featuring Bay Area artists and Castro Valley High School student artists.” In addition, artists hold Master Classes for CVHS art students. “It is fantastic for our students to meet real artists, learn new techniques and hear the artist’s personal journeys.” ~CVUSD art teacher, Jennifer Parker

My art is multimedia, and my favorite part of art-making is collage. I have used a discarded book on the game GO found on the street in Tokyo, old notebooks and journals from Paris, Amsterdam and Spain, gorgeous scraps of silk from the gowns of Falleras in Valencia, a vintage (and water damaged) “Bobbsey Twins" book found at a garage sale in Florida, newspapers from Marrakesh, a math book from Athens, Greece and of course paper I have come across in my hometown of Oakland, California.Berenice Sullivan2026-09-02T20:02:12-07:00

I began working with paper due to its simplicity and recyclability. Over time, I grew to appreciate paper's symbolic meaning. Made from once-living plants, paper represents an afterlife that morphs to meet human needs. It serves as the soul beneath the lifeworks of artists, unseen yet carrying their marks of life. For papercut artists, it is a veil cut open to another reality, revealing the artist's vision through the holes they create.Image: "BurnTree"
