Vallejo’s 2nd Friday Art Walk
Starting in April 2015 the McCune Collection became open to the Public 5:00-9:00pm on the second Friday of each month as a regular venue of Vallejo's 2nd Friday Art Walk. For the first time in many years the McCune is expanding the hours it is open to the Public, and this is first the time it has ever offered regular evening hours. Each month the McCune will also feature the work of one or more local artists on exhibit in the McCune Room. During 2nd Fridays only, visitors can enter the McCune Collection directly from the staircase on the plaza at the corner of Georgia and Santa Clara Streets. Beverages and snacks will also be served.
Any artists interested in exhibiting their work on a 2nd Friday in The McCune Room should contact us either via phone (707) 674-4082 or via e-mail mccunecollection@gmail.com
