A team of Open Studio Artists and Suzy Vose from the Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission set out to install "Redemption Garden" at the SMUD Art Gallery on Friday, June 8th. The building and the artwork are incredibly complementary! Come see for yourself! The show runs from June 11th - July 31st, and it is a must see.

"Green" Easter Art Installation - Come Join Us on Saturday, March 31st for Bringing It Together!

As many of you know we have been working on a GIANT community art project that will be unveiled at Easter at Lakeside Church. Today alone, I think we had more than 300 water bottle flowers "bloom" before our eyes with the help of many hands.  Thank you to everyone who has participated thus far!  If you've joined us, you know how enjoyable it has been to see water bottles, headed for the trash, be transformed into beautiful creations. 

Next Saturday, we will be getting together for a work/play day to start putting everything together.  Come join us!  If you want to work on your own projects, that's fine too.  It's creative time and space.
