It's HOT outside but we're staying cool with two brand new shows at the Center this month. From inspirations of Dada to a salon-style installation of eclectic artwork, you and your family will find something new to experience this month when you visit the Elk Grove Fine Arts Center.

Read on to learn about our final competition show of the year, plus a Foyer Gallery that is full of artwork by Vic L. Bicomong. And don't miss out on a special event as part of SAC Open Studios coming September 17-18.

Gallery exhibitions open First Saturday September 3. Public Reception 4-7PM.

In our final art competition of 2022 we are tapping into the hidden reservoirs of artist creativity in a show that is heavily influenced by the art of Dada. Artists were asked to activate their unconscious minds to defy logic to create works that evoke randomness, spontaneity, and dream-like scenes.

The Eclectic Artist Vic L. Bicomong exhibits this month in the Foyer Gallery. A self-taught artist, Bicomong is known for the diversity of styles in his work, allowing a gallery to appear as though multiple artists are showing at the same time. Bicomong is retired from the Elk Grove Post Office, has completed mural work in San Francisco, and now shares his artistic talent with the local community and his family.

The Center will participate in this year’s SAC Open Studios during Weekend Two, September 17-18 from 10AM-5PM featuring artists Cynthia Minoli, Darrci Robertson, and Erin Martinelli. This special collection of work is available during the annual celebration of open studios, presented by Verge Center for the Arts.
