I woke up this morning thinking "hey, tomorrow is Second Saturday". Of course I am talking about the monthly Art Walk and experience that happens in and around Sacramento's Midtown area.

Even though the forecast is calling for some chance of rain, that should be no excuse not to come to midtown and be a part of the monthly festivities and feel the season in the air.

Since last Christmas there have been some additions to the monthly event. For one, Midtown is hosting an ice skating rink between  K St and L St on 20th St.

Tickets: Admission:
Adults, $8
Children, $5
Skate Rental: $2

Info Phone: (916) 442-1500

Secondly, artist Michael Kennedy opened the new Kennedy Gallery at 1114 20th Street, next to Headhunters. Michael's new gallery is the site of many artist who display and sell their work in a very eclectic artisan setting. Their website is:   http://www.kennedygallerysac.com/   

This Second Saturday, December 12th, the Kennedy Gallery will be open for visitors to view the art of

Angela Ridgeway       Judith Monroe     Terrie Bennett       Margaret Sarantis     Dana Bilello-Barrow      Monica Lunardi      Steve Anderson

Margaret Sarantis     Pat Orner      Keith Hopkins     Michelle Mackenzie      Kristen Hoard      Phil Meyers      Michele Fisher      Pat Livingston

and local textured metal sculpture artist Lori Wylie( art shown).

A Christmas gift of art is not only a thoughtful gift but it is a unique gift that the recipient will just love to keep. There will be something for everyones budget.

So this Saturday, December 12th is a great time to get into the Christmas spirit and mingle with the artist and bless their art sales this season while finishing your shopping.

Lori Wylie's art photos are used by permission. No other uses of her art are permitted except by written permission from her. The art shown are representative of her work and not necessarily art on display this month. Lori can replicate any piece she has done in just about any size to fit your space and budget. Giant mobile shown is a permanent piece of art for the public who visit the Sutter Rehabilitation Wing in Roseville. It measures 12 feet x 12 feet and may be the largest hanging mobile in California.
