Upcoming Exhibits

Artist Ron Peetz has been a stalwart part of the regional art scene since the late 1960s. As an object maker and sculptor, he delights in incorporating puns, word play, and irreverent humor into his work. Starting with his concept, he chooses any one of the many media he employs, to best make his idea come to life. In so doing, his sculpture and mixed media pieces lean heavily towards social critique and parody, blended with a lighter touch of humor and surrealism. Equally present is his interest in the history of art, particularly his own 20th century inspirations, from René Magritte and Marcel Duchamp, to William T. Wiley, one of his friends and mentors.

What do you do with an artistic experiment, too many of one item, or overstock that your studio shelves are insisting you take care of? You have a ‘seconds sale’! Find unique works of art—such as ceramics, paintings, textiles, and more—from more than 25 professional artists, including Jennifer Nachmanoff, Tanya Lieberman (shown above), Marjan Kluepfel, and Marlene Lee.

Frankie Hansbearry and Marsha Elam are Sacramento-based artists whose ceramics explore their fascination with the avian world. In their works, realism flies out the window and tales with a twist replace what we think we know about our fine feathered friends, offering a bird’s-eye view of human nature.
