It's a brand new year!! 2023 brings well-remembered art shows and a lot of new exhibitions to the Elk Grove Fine Arts Center. We'll also see the return of popular art classes and some exciting new opportunities for young adults to explore their artistic passions.

Read on to learn about Fanciful Visions, a whole bunch of art workshops, open Calls for Artists, plus save-the-date for this year's Elk Grove Festival of the Arts!

First Saturday is January 7 from 4-7PM. Admission is FREE.

Do you wake up having dreamed of places and adventures that seem so real but are just out of reach? Open your mind to the surreal, the fantastical, the magical, and the macabre, as we explore the stuff of dreams in Fanciful Visions, the first art competition of 2023.

The Center would like to thank Dwight Head who serves as awards judge for this exhibition. Head began as an illustrator in 1984 when he drew fish, wildflowers, poison ivy, and animal wildlife for California State Parks & Recreation brochures. After earning his art degree at Sacramento City College, Head switched to fine art and has shown locally at B. Sakata Garo, the Elk Grove Fine Arts Center, Matrix, Sparrow Gallery, and others. He is also an award-winning artist in the KVIE Art Auction.

There's never been a better time to learn a new skill or refine your artistic talents. Make a resolution to take an art class in 2023 at the Elk Grove Fine Arts Center.
