As summer starts to wind down, enjoy these cool art events throughout Sacramento. From thought-provoking activist art to immersive outdoor experiences, you’ll find something to engage the senses at every stop. Here’s a look at five local events you won’t want to miss this month.
Museums: art and storytelling
The California Museum is currently hosting two exhibitions that explore the intersection of art and social justice. “Mission Gráfica: Reflecting a Community in Print,” which opened in June and runs through Sept. 14, features 40 years of activist screenprint posters from San Francisco’s Mission Gráfica. These colorful, historical graphic posters explore identity, politics and social issues.
In a similar vein, “Revolutionary Grain: Celebrating the Spirit of the Black Panthers in Portraits and Stories,” which runs through Nov. 2, humanizes the historical activist group through portraits and personal stories of its members. This exhibit invites viewers to engage with art that offers unique perspectives on historical and current cultural issues.
