Tetiana Taganska Solo Exhibition "Wildly Joyful"
Wildly Joyful is a vibrant collection of oil paintings that celebrates the untamed beauty of flowers and spring blossoms through an expressive, near-abstract approach. Each piece radiates fresh, raw energy - alive with vivid color, confident brushwork, and spontaneous movement. Rather than depicting nature literally, the paintings capture the emotional essence of the season.
Reception: Sunday, April 5, 2 - 4 PM

Yarnbombing
One highlight of the celebration for April, 2026, is a Yarnbombing event, from April 1-30, 2026. We look forward to the entire Fremont Community participating.
Yarnbombing is a colorful and playful form of street art that covers public objects – trees, benches, railings, etc with knitted or crocheted yarn pieces. Our goal is to create community yarn bombing, so each covered object is made up of multiple smaller crocheted or knitted squares, rectangles, circles, etc., attached to create a fun, colorful, and funky art display.
Locations:
Corner of Bart Way & Civic Center Drive (entrance to BART)
Fremont Main Library
There will be a celebration and “Grand Opening” at the Bart Way & Civic Center Drive location, Friday, April 3, 10 AM
