The West Sacramento Department of Parks and Recreation is showcasing art by local Black artists in its Gallery 1075 space through February.
“Throughout the rest of the month people can come in anytime the community center is open … to just enjoy the pieces themselves,” gallery curator Evan Harté said. “The art reception [on Feb. 12] though is going to be extra special because we’re going to have the artists actually come out and talk with the community, get to know them and talk about their processes.”
One of the artists featured is Sacramento-based Danitta Nelson, who works on her art in-between taking care of her children and working as a program manager at a mental health care facility. Nelson said she loves to do 3D art where she can attach things to her illustrations, especially hair.
