ELK GROVE, CA (MPG) - The Elk Grove Fine Arts Center will present two featured exhibitions in August with Jim Marxen and Dwight Head. Both shows run Aug. 2 to Aug. 24, with a First Saturday Public Reception on Aug. 2 from 4 to 7 p.m.

Marxen’s surreal landscapes are a great pairing with Head’s surreal figurative work.

“Having space for these shows in our main gallery, in addition to a regular collection of Gallery Artist displays and our gift shop, means that guests have so much new to explore every month, said Marketing Director Heath Buckmaster. “Make plans to join us for First Saturday and see why Elk Grove is the place to be for the visual arts.”

The center will also present its regular workshop series including classes on batiking, ceramics, drawing, watercolor and more. Learn more and register online at elkgrovefineartscenter.org/classes.

 

Here is Dwight Head’s “Lucky Bunny Poison,” a color pencil and ink medium art piece.
