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

SUMMARY:New Paintings by Pat Mahony
DESCRIPTION:The John Natsoulas Gallery is proud to present the newest exhibition of paintings by Sacramento-based artist\, Pat Mahony. The works in her exhibition\, all created within the last year\, are representative of her travels throughout California and to Hawaii. She captures endemic and tropical vegetation in her iconic\, impressionistic style.  \nPat Mahony’s natural environment serves as her greatest source of inspiration. She transforms the beauty of the world\, and the “perfect chaos” that signifies the ever-changing impressions imparted by the way that light can alter a moment. She is known for successfully matching the “wildness of nature with a wild and physical application of paint.” Pat Mahony was born in Southern California\, and studied printmaking and oil painting at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. During the 1980s\, she primarily showed her watercolors\, many of which were architectural scenes. After her early painting successes\, she took some time off to pursue other endeavors. Her desire to return to oil painting coincided with her move to a rural property along the Sacramento River. The resulting landscape paintings that she produced over the successive years were large-scale in format and were a strong representation of that land. Her later works\, painted after she relocated to the region near the American River\, became more focused on individual components within nature\, as she went on long walks along the river. She has achieved minute detail within her painting\, utilizing the scale to emphasize particular elements.  \nIn this exhibition she explores scale across multiple canvases\, creating a diptych and a quadriptych\, allowing for greater immersion and artistic presence. Mahony can best be categorized as a colorist\, with a style derived from the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists\, which is well suited for capturing the fleeting moments that begin and end in such rapid succession in the natural world. Her paintings are a balance between abstraction and representation. Immortalizing the vibrancy of the Sacramento Valley natural environment is key to her work\, and her dazzling painting captures the beauty of the beloved flora and landscape she calls home.  \nThe exhibition’s opening reception is to be held on Saturday\, May 30 from 7:00-9:00 PM. It will feature live music and refreshments. All are well\, and the event is free! \n

SUMMARY:UCD Graduate Exhibition: intersection of health\, tech\, art\, & design
DESCRIPTION:UC Davis Arts and Humanities Exhibition on View June 4-20 at the Manetti Shrem Museum\nBy College of Letters and Science Staff | May 26\, 2026 \nFrom digital data and technology to the environment\, healthcare and the body\, graduate students from across the College of Letters and Science at University of California\, Davis\, are pushing boundaries with their experimental research and creative expression. The results\, varied in medium and discipline\, will be on display at the Arts & Humanities 2026 Graduate Exhibition. \nThe multidisciplinary showcase runs June 4–20 at the Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art. The opening night reception on June 4\,  5:30 to 9 p.m.\, is free and open to the public. Five student presentations and performances are scheduled. \nFour awards will be presented\, including three art purchase prizes. In all\, 20 Master of Fine Arts\, Master of Arts and doctoral students are participating. \n“Our graduate students are on the cutting edge of technology\, design and the arts\,” said Estella Atekwana\, dean of the College of Letters and Science at UC Davis. “They create their own techniques and technologies while thinking deeply and critically about everything they do. Now more than ever\, we need future leaders like these\, who engage across disciplines and media to meet the challenges of our rapidly changing world.” \nMuseum visitors can expect to encounter multimedia exhibits\, installations\, sculpture\, paintings\, drawings and collage as well as performances that will encourage them to engage with art and design in new ways. \n“It’s a joy to celebrate UC Davis’ dedicated\, talented and amazing arts graduate students with this annual exhibition\,” said Rachel Teagle\, the museum’s founding director. “We’re especially excited to increase the number of M.F.A. students’ work represented in the Fine Arts Collection with the support of the College of Letters and Science Dean’s Office.” \nA sampling of what the public will see and experience\nZahra Baxi (M.F.A.\, design) focuses on making complex systems accessible and engaging through data visualization and media. Using interactive mapping and visual design to reveal seasonal change and interconnected environmental processes\, Baxi explores the Yolo Basin as a dynamic system shaped by flood\, migration and agriculture. \nRafael Bertacini (M.F.A.\, design) explores how complex human experiences can be made tangible and legible through objects and interactions. In this work\, Bertacini investigates a multi-site wearable to support emotional regulation in neurodivergent adults living with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder. \nNick Block (M.F.A.\, art studio) engages with computer systems to investigate how digital data flows transform our physical landscape and lives. His installation pairs “breathing” 3D-printed grids with a disintegrating photographic cave to explore machine sentience and embodied experience within a hybrid digital-physical reality. \nTara K. Daly (M.F.A.\, art studio) engages symmetry as a compositional tool to speak about interconnectedness and entanglements. Her sculptural looms hold a variety of ways to interlace diverse kinds of materials into structured wholes that propose an ontology in which knowledge and being might emerge through interwoven\, relational processes. \nElieza Delaney-Lewis (M.F.A.\, design)\, guided by bodily awareness\, examines Western birthing spaces as systems shaping power\, movement and care\, and proposes womb-inspired architectural models that foster autonomy\, reciprocity\, relational trust and ecological approaches to health and design. \nDavion Mack (M.F.A.\, art studio)\, through sculpture\, explores how matter moves through geological and cosmic time. His current body of work centers on steel forms cradling geological matter\, emphasizing gravity\, care and balance while revealing memories contained in stones from various California landscapes. \nNidhi Mittal (M.F.A.\, design)\, focusing on issues of equity and representation in women’s health\, examines how experiences of perimenopause are shared and understood within digital communities\, translating user-generated discussions into quantitative insights to inform more human-centered digital health design. \nSean Olmstead (M.F.A. art studio) draws on humor\, anxiety and absurdity to explore our relationship with technology and electronic media. His gallery and performance works re-imagine technology systems and media landscapes\, conjuring natural and artificial processes and dynamics with sound\, video and installation. He will also perform on opening night. \nErika Tsimbrovsky (Ph.D. performance studies) will share an intimate performance at the opening shaped by movement\, voice\, silence and simple materials. Drawing from her Living Open Diary research\, the work explores how writing becomes choreography and how language unfolds as gesture\, trace and relation. \nFour Awards Announced at Opening; Colloquium June 5\nThe winners of the LeShelle & Gary May Art Purchase Prize\, the Keister & Allen Art Purchase Prize\, the Letters & Science Prize for Excellence\, and the Savageau Award in the Department of Design will be announced at the June 4 opening celebration. The first three prizes enable the Manetti Shrem Museum to purchase graduate student work for the university’s Fine Arts Collection\, and the Savageau Award recognizes and furthers the careers of a graduate in design. Art history graduate students will present their research at the Annual Art History Graduate Colloquium and Reception from 2 to 5 p.m. on June 5 at Everson Hall. \nThe Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art is located at 254 Old Davis Road. Public hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday through Sunday. Visit manettishrem.org for information. \n

SUMMARY:after nature
DESCRIPTION:FIONA K. LAU\nAFTER NATURE\nJune 5–29\, 2026\nSecond Saturday Reception: June 13 at 5–8 p.m. \nAxis Gallery\n625 S St\nSacramento\, CA 95811\nGallery hours: Friday\, Saturday\, and Sunday\, 12 – 5pm \nIn after nature\, Fiona K. Lau examines our increasingly mediated relationship with the natural world through a series of paintings and installations that navigate the space between digital fascination and ecological crisis. The exhibition takes its title from Jedediah Purdy’s book\, which explores how nature as a notion of pure\, untouched wilderness no longer exists—if it ever did—and asks how genuine kinship can be forged in an era when human influence has transformed every ecosystem and the internet shapes our environmental consciousness. \nThe works in this exhibition embody this search for connection through their very making. They function as palimpsests\, layering diverse sources—personal records\, Chinese literati painting\, Japanese manga and pop culture\, internet-sourced photographs\, and AI-generated images and texts—into compositions where paint and line\, figure and ground\, shift and slip against one another. Strange reactions emerge between mark-making\, layered imagery\, fluid space and surfaces\, the invisible and the visible\, and emergence and disappearance in dialogue. They mirror our contemporary relationship with nature—mediated\, fragmented\, yet resonant. \nafter nature offers neither solutions nor nostalgia but rather a contemplative space to reconsider how we see\, know\, and care for the more-than-human world in an age of digital saturation and ecological transformation. \nABOUT THE ARTIST \nFiona K. Lau is a Sacramento-based painter whose work explores the relationships of land\, environment\, and belonging. Born in British Hong Kong and raised in Canada\, she had worked in environmental pollution research and international aid across sub-Saharan Africa. Her practice is deeply influenced by experiences of shifting cultures and a background in scientific training\, creating layered works that bridge different realms of experience to reveal tensions and hidden constructs. \nLau’s work has been exhibited in Seattle\, Atlanta\, New York\, Philadelphia\, and internationally in Japan and Canada and is featured in public collections in Kent\, WA\, and Chamblee\, GA. She has completed artist residencies at the Vermont Studio Center\, Ox-Bow School of Art & Artists’ Residency\, and Verge Center for the Arts in the US; OCAD University in Toronto\, Canada; and AiR Yamanashi in Kofu\, Japan. Lau is the recipient of the 2025 Creative Growth Fellowship awarded by the City of Sacramento’s Office of Arts and Culture and is a member of Axis Gallery in Sacramento. \nfionaklau.com

SUMMARY:IMMORAL UNTIL PROFITABLE
DESCRIPTION:KENNETH JORDAN\nIMMORAL UNTIL PROFITABLE\nJune 5–28\, 2026\nSecond Saturday Reception: June 13\, 5–8 p.m. \nAxis Gallery\n625 S St\nSacramento\, CA 95811\nGallery hours: Friday\, Saturday\, and Sunday\, 12–5 p.m. \nAxis Gallery is pleased to present Immoral Until Profitable by Kenneth Jordan \nJazz is one of America’s greatest innovations; born from creativity\, collaboration\, and resilience. Yet like many American art forms created by marginalized communities\, jazz was first condemned before it was celebrated. \nReligious leaders called it immoral.\nCritics called it primitive.\nRespectable society called it dangerous.\nBut the music didn’t disappear. It evolved. It spread.\nAnd once it became profitable\, condemnation gave way to consumption. \nImmoral Until Profitable examines a recurring American pattern: reject\, resist\, rebrand\, monetize. \nThrough portraiture\, text\, and layered materials drawn from newspapers and public rhetoric\, this exhibition highlights both the brilliance of jazz and the cultural forces that once tried to suppress it. What was once feared became profitable. What was once dismissed became foundational. This show uses jazz as a lens to ask a broader question: What are we condemning today that we will eventually consume? \nJoin us at Axis Gallery\, located at 625 S Street in Sacramento’s historic R Street Corridor\, within the Verge Center for the Arts building. The gallery has exhibited innovative contemporary art for over 35 years and continues to serve as a vital space for artists to explore\, connect\, and share work outside the commercial sphere. \nABOUT THE ARTIST \nKenneth Jordan is a California based painter whose practice centers on large-scale works that command attention through bold composition\, layered materials\, and expressive use of color. His work explores the intersection of history and visual storytelling\, examining how cultural ideas evolve over time; how they are shaped\, challenged\, and ultimately redefined. Raised in a deeply creative environment\, Kenneth was influenced early on by a family of artists\, including his great uncle\, renown Disney animator Marc Davis\, whose contributions to classic Disney films helped shape his understanding of art as a powerful narrative force. \nWebsite: https://www.kennethjordanart.com\nInstagram: @k.jordanart

SUMMARY:The Vocal Art Ensemble presents CIRCLES – captivating musical patterns
DESCRIPTION:This June\, we present a program that sparkles with intriguing musical\, historical\, and thematic patterns.

SUMMARY:Adding Stones to Rise A Group Exhibition of Sacramento-Based Artists
DESCRIPTION:Adding Stones to Rise\nA Group Exhibition of Sacramento-Based Artists\nArtist and Curator: Adero Willard \nMay 1 – May 29\, 2026\nSecond Saturday Reception: Saturday\, May 9\, 5–8 PM \nAdding Stones to Rise is a curated group exhibition bringing together Sacramento-based artists working across multiple media\, including painting\, printmaking\, ceramics\, sculpture\, and new media. The title was developed in response to the work and writings of the artists in the exhibition and to the regional presence of rivers that move through and around Sacramento. Water becomes a point of connection—flowing\, sustaining\, eroding\, nurturing\, and reshaping. It can lift\, carry\, overwhelm\, or renew. The flow of a river may also be understood simply as the movement of material through the earth. In this context\, adding stones may suggest burden\, accumulation\, protection\, labor\, or foundation; rising may evoke resistance\, healing\, survival\, visibility\, or change. \nArtists were selected to create a diversity of voice\, perspective\, process\, medium\, and identity\, speaking to the expansiveness of Blackness and representing a collective of varying experiences. Each point is distinct\, yet inseparable from the whole—reflecting how identity\, particularly Blackness\, can be understood as fluid\, relational\, and non-monolithic. \nAdding Stones to Rise centers the work of Black women and nonbinary artists—new to the region\, rooted here\, or returning. Together\, these artists offer a collective meditation on movement\, care\, resistance\, and transformation. This exhibition is one moment in an ongoing story. It is not the first of its kind\, and it will not be the last. \nCuratorial Note: As a curatorial framework\, stones\, water\, and rivers function as metaphors for ideas brought together in this space and may not reflect the specific themes or content of each artist’s work. \nParticipating Artists\nDebra Pitman\, Laurelin Gilmore\, Amari More\, Victoria Kinyanjui\, Khalia Morris\, Tasha Green\, Delgreta Brown\, Alex Lowe\, Sabrina Clark\, Tasha Nicole \nPress Contact\n[Adero Willard] [potterybyadero@gmail.com |
