It's a big month for art at the Elk Grove Fine Arts Center as the 11th annual Art Tour returns with new locations and new artists! Plus in the Foyer Gallery you'll feed your sweet tooth in a new exhibition from Polly LaPorte and Robert Gonsowski.

Read on to learn about this year's open studio Art Tour, how to get your printable tour map, and a preview of the delectable delights in Sweet!

Gallery exhibitions open First Saturday October 1. Public Reception 4-7PM.

“Sweet! captures the bold and delicious colors and shapes of desserts of all kinds. Sacramento artists and friends Polly LaPorte and Robert Gonsowski sought something fun and interesting to paint together. Their effort developed into a lively and interactive exchange of ideas and techniques found in this delectable series of oil paintings.”

The Annual Art Tour allows us to showcase many of the talented artists in our community, present them with an opportunity to sell their works, and offer art lovers a chance to meet the artists in an informal setting.

Our popular Art Tour Raffle is back this year and tickets are only $5 each or five for $20. Get your tickets starting October 1 through November 5 - available at the Center or any of the Art Tour venues. Winners will be announced at First Saturday November 5.
