I've seen a number of his works before at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, but several of the pieces on display today were new to me--such a treat to experience different works up close. The gift shop is small yet thoughtfully curated, featuring items inspired by the current exhibit along with creations by talented local artisans. Admission is very reasonable, and students receive discounted entry at just $10. Donations are also warmly welcomed and help support this wonderful community art space.

My friend and I stopped here on a whim one afternoon, seeing their food-themed art gallery. When I…read moreentered and asked about admission I was told entry is free, though they do also have a donation box. In addition to the small gallery of (mostly local) artists, they also had some art pieces for sale. I was impressed by the quality of the work and fell in love with several pieces on display. Most of the pieces were also for sale, though nothing I would consider inexpensive. It's art, so you'll have to decide how much you like something and if you want to purchase it. It also seems like non-local artists could display work here if they were a member of the center. Maybe I should look into it! Really nice place to stop for an hour or two. Highly recommend it.

From the owner: I believe art is the way we communicate with ourselves, with those around us, and with the world…read more Art can have many expressions through many mediums. My art comes from my study of Zen Buddhism and the martial art, Aikido. In Zen, there is a wonderful austerity and beauty. We see that in the rock garden at Ryoanji Temple in Kyoto, Japan. Aikido comes from the lush Shinto garden that is filled with vibrancy and aliveness. I think of Aikido as the bamboo forests in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." When I pick up my brush, I am dealing with only ink and paper. The blank sheet of paper is where I step into these worlds. As soon as I began moving my brush, I am both artist and observer. I am also having fun because something is happening that fully engages me, the artist, and me the observer. There is a fine balance between these two forces.

I was so curious about all of these metal sculptures around town so a friend and I parked on one…read moreend of Florence Avenue and casually walked up and down the street. What imagination and creativity! I loved photographing each one. There was one house with tons of artwork. The entire front yard is adorned with them and I wondered if this is where the artist lives. Sure enough there were pamphlets near the sidewalk and that's when I learned that the artist is Patrick Amiot. His spouse, Brigitte Laurent, paints his works of art. He calls his creations Urban Folk Art. Some are quite huge but all are very unique and original. What an entertaining way to reuse metal. For feathers and scales, we noticed he layers flat jar lids and they look amazing after they've been painted. My favorite was (Buster) Posey and the two owls but there were so many we both loved. I drive up this street regularly but it is definitely worth it to park and take a closer look. Florence Avenue is like the artist's outdoor studio. It's a manageable and worthwhile leisurely stroll. You will see other metal sculptures around town by this artist and I happened to know that Mom's Apple Pie on Gravenstein Highway has one now too so I included a photo of it. Such fun whimsical creations!
