Sacramento’s art scene is a melting pot of diverse perspectives, unique experiences, thought-provoking exhibitions and fun interactive events. This guide features a selection of new visual art events and exhibitions to ignite your imagination and help tap into the city’s creative spirit all month long.
In vibrant Oak Park, First Fridays are a laid-back mixture of retail, culinary arts and live music experiences centered along the Broadway business corridor between 32nd and 36th streets. With just a few galleries, it’s a much quieter scene than Midtown Association’s Second Saturday, but still offers exciting creative encounters.
On Friday, Sept. 6, Patris Studio and Art Gallery on Broadway will host a First Friday reception with live music by Sacramento rock’n’roll and blues band Jammin’ James and Friends. The gallery will feature owner Patris Miller’s “Broadway Rain” oil painting series featuring familiar neighborhood haunts and glistening rain-soaked streets. A selection of other art will also be on display, including Victoria Brooks’ coastal and figurative oil paintings and Oak Park resident Scott Martin’s handmade jewelry.
