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). This is an ‘open theme’ exhibit\, which showcases art that is conceptually thoughtful\, technically skilled\, and representative of contemporary trends in art. Two-dimensional work must not exceed 36” wide\, and three-dimensional work must not exceed 75 lb. Applicants may submit between 1-3 images of work for review\, with an artist statement and resume\, at www.callforentry.org\, and pay $35 for Pence Members ($40 for non-Pence Members) by May 12th\, 9 PM PST. Prizes of $200-400 will be awarded by the juror during the reception. \nThis year’s juror is Gioia Fonda\, an interdisciplinary artist working primarily in two-dimensional media (painting\, drawing\, sewing\, and photography) with occasional forays in sculpture\, social practice and public art. Regardless of media\, she tends to work in a colorful and non objective manner\, but just under the surface\, her work is often imbued with storytelling and narrative. She has a bi-coastal art education\, having earned a BFA at the California College of the Arts and an MFA at the School of Visual Arts in New York. Gioia is a dedicated member of the Sacramento art community contributing as an artist\, curator\, jurist\, and collaborator. She is also a tenured professor of art at Sacramento City College where she teaches painting\, drawing\, and design. Her work has been exhibited widely throughout Northern California and is held in many collections\, both private and institutional. \nMay 12: Applications due online by 9 PM PST at www.callforentry.org\nJune 1: Notification of juried results by email\nJuly 10 – August 16\, 2026: Exhibition dates\, 11:30 AM – 5 PM (closed Mondays)\nJuly 10: Reception from 6-9 PM (Awards at 8 PM) \nView the full Slice artist call and more details at www.callforentry.org.

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:Linda Clark Johnson: Sunshine & Shadows
DESCRIPTION:Linda Clark Johnson: Sunshine & Shadows\nExhibit: May 2 – June 21\, 2026\nLinda Clark Johnson is a Sacramento artist who primarily works with cyanotype\, an early photographic process that uses UV light to create luminous blue images without a camera or negative. Captivated by sunlight and always gathering plants\, she prints in her backyard\, capturing botanical impressions and their shadows on watercolor paper or fabric. She then uses natural toners\, collage\, watercolor\, and colored pencil to add layers of depth and detail to her work. Through her cyanotype prints\, she celebrates experimentation and the wonder of the natural world\, creating art that feels tranquil and atmospheric. \nArtist Talk & Reception: Sunday\, May 17\, 1-2:30 PM (Free)\nJoin artist Linda Clark Johnson as she discusses her artistic process in working with cyanotype\, including her love of sunlight and her ways of gathering and arranging plants. Linda will also show visitors how to get started with cyanotype through an artist demo\, as well as explore her current work in her exhibit\, Sunshine & Shadows. \nThis exhibit is sponsored by Wil & Karen Uecker. \nThe Pence Gallery is open 11:30 AM – 5 PM\, Tuesday through Sunday (closed Monday). \nImage: work by Linda Clark Johnson
