SUMMARY:Color / Texture / Pattern at Gallery 625
DESCRIPTION:Gallery 625’s current exhibition is an appreciation of color\, texture\, and pattern explored through photography. Featuring 21 Northern California artists and over 50 artworks\, Color / Texture / Pattern highlights a wide range of perspectives\, styles\, and subject matter. \nHosted by YoloArts in partnership with the Woodland Camera Forum\, this photography exhibition aligns with Photography Month Sacramento 2026\, which will take place in April. Photography Month is a region-wide celebration of the photographic arts reaching across communities and bringing people together. \nPhotography Month Sacramento remarks\, “When we take and share photographs we are creating a common visual history and visual language. Exhibitions of photographic art hold a mirror up to society\, reflecting its interests and concerns while simultaneously confronting its ideologies and preconceptions. \nPhotography Month helps create opportunities for photographic artists by creating more physical spaces dedicated to the appreciation of the photographic arts and to create opportunities for vital discussions about images and ideas\, to bring diverse communities together in a shared space\, and to generate income for the local economy.” \nGallery 625 will hold a reception for Color / Texture / Pattern on Friday\, April 3\, from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. with live music provided by Harold Sexton and light refreshments. At 6:15 p.m. award winners will be announced. The “Best in Show” award\, sponsored by Blue Wing Gallery\, will be presented by Al Eby. The “Second Prize” award\, sponsored by the Woodland Camera Forum\, will be presented by Susan Lord Bovey. \nThe “People’s Choice” award\, sponsored by YoloArts\, will open for voting on March 19 and close on April 15. The award winner will be announced via Social Media on April 17. To participate in voting\, please visit our website at https://yoloarts.org/gallery-625/. \nColor / Texture / Pattern is on view at Gallery 625 from March 19 through April 23\, 2026. \nRegular open hours of Gallery 625 are Monday – Friday from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. \nGallery 625 is located in the Erwin Meyer County Administration building at 625 Court St. in \nWoodland.

SUMMARY:Call to Artists! Slice: A Juried Exhibit of Regional Art 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Pence’s Slice exhibit\, now in its 14th year\, is open for submission by California artists working in any medium (except video or sound).

Gioia is a dedicated member of the Sacramento art community contributing as an artist\, curator\, jurist\, and collaborator.

SUMMARY:The Abstract Language of Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:The Abstract Language of Ceramics\nExhibit: April 10 – June 3\, 2026\nReception: April 10\, 6-9 PM (Free) \nThe Abstract Language of Ceramics features the work of ceramic artists Karyn Gabriel\, Mark Goudy\, Kris Marubayashi\, Liza Riddle\, and Laura Van Duren. Together\, these artists create striking geometric and biomorphic forms that underline their pursuit of simple forms inspired by nature. Karyn Gabriel’s woven vessels and hangings merge the idea of fiber and weaving with the flexible nature of clay. Goudy’s current sculptures are modeled on mathematical equations\, which he adapts on the computer\, using new technology to design and create molded forms. Kris Marubayashi’s vessels have a sense of movement and balance\, and employ natural textures and an earth-toned palette. Liza Riddle’s modified cubes\, hanging plinths\, and circles use color sparingly to emphasize the beauty of cracks that form while drying. Laura Van Duren shows a playful incorporation of found objects\, textiles\, and clay\, closely resembling the corporal reality of human interaction. \nThis exhibit is sponsored by Hollie Malamud & Chris Kelsch\, and Helen McClosky\, in memory of ceramicist Shelly Simon. \nImage:\nLaura Van Duren\, “Curl”\nKris Marubayashi\, Untitled\nKaryn Gabriel\, “Aspen Brick”\nMark Goudy\, “Flux Series”\nLiza Riddle\, Untitled

SUMMARY:Shelter & Survival: Building a Home in the Wild
DESCRIPTION:One of the most essential survival skills is knowing how to create shelter\, and it’s something humans have been practicing since the beginning of time. In this hands-on adult/family class\, we’ll take a familiar childhood love (building forts!) and layer in real wilderness survival skills. \nParticipants will learn how to build tarp shelters\, brush shelters\, and simple survival structures using natural materials and basic bushcraft techniques. We’ll practice essential knots\, learn how to read the land for shelter placement\, and explore how to build structures that are both sturdy and respectful of the environment. \nAll supplies will be provided. Families are welcome to bring small to medium tarps\, 50–100 feet of paracord\, and a knife or saw if they have them. Please bring your own snacks and water. Expect creativity\, teamwork\, and the satisfaction of learning how to build a home in the woods! \n12 and under must come with an adult. 5 and under free. \n  \n
