The days are getting longer, the sun is shining and the inspiration is flowing! Sacramento’s art scene presents a diverse array of events to jumpstart your summer with fun and creativity this June.
With an opening at WAL Public Market Gallery during First Friday on June 6, Taylore Amato’s ceramic exhibit “Grief in Motion” starts off the month with expressive, functional art. Amato’s brand, Lazy Dazy Ceramics, features “ceramics for the punks and the pissed off,” with mugs, vessels and other items bearing text phrases and a highly stylized, hand-drawn aesthetic.
The rest of the weekend, you can browse local art at the 67th annual Kiwanis Art Fiesta, hosted by the Sacramento Suburban Kiwanis at the Scottish Rite Masonic Center. The free two-day event features local makers and artists in a juried show displaying handmade jewelry, photography, paintings, pottery and other mediums including wood, metal and glass. Plus, an exhibit of student art from San Juan Unified School District will be showcased. The event is a fundraiser for the local chapter of the nonprofit volunteer group Kiwanis International.
