THE ARTERY. Echabarne titled her show "A Wing and A Prayer" because it expresses her feeling that we are flying on one wing in a dangerous time. The bas relief pieces are like prayers or wishes for all people, everywhere, to enjoy basic human rights. These rights are to love who we want to love; the right to be safe and nurtured; the right to be joyful in expressions of our own making. Free

PENCE GALLERY. Artist Ronald 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.
PENCE GALLERY. Frankie Hansbearry and Marsha Elam are Sacramento-based artists whose ceramics explore whimsical and imaginative themes. In their figurative works, reality flies out the window to reveal anthropomorphic characters, interesting faces, and tales with a twist that hold up a mirror to human nature. 11:30a—5p. Free

Talking with Ronald Peetz is much like his work - fun & full of humor. Peetz’s conceptual pieces are anything but dry, as he uses materials such as baseballs, violin cases, & funerary headstones, to underline his political and social messages. Join him as he talks about his days as an art student in the 60s, inspired by artists such as Stephen Kaltenbach, William Wiley, & others. Ronald Peetz’s exhibit, titled Work in Progress, is on display at the Pence Gallery from February 11 - April 2, 2025. 1p - 2:30p. $10 Suggested Donation.
