The 10th annual Arts Tour in Elk Grove on June 12 is just what people need as we round the corner from COVID; celebrating local artists, outside in the beautiful California sunshine.

The Art Tour begins with a “Meet the Art Tour Artists Night” at the Center on June 5 from 4-7PM. A detailed map of locations and list of artists is available at elkgrovefineartscenter.org/workshops-and-events/arttour/.
Showing in the Foyer Gallery this June, Judy Thompson-Ng’s JUDY’S BATIKS. Judy is a self-taught oil and watercolor artist from New York. Her unique style of watercolor batik painting illustrates the technique of using rice paper and a hot wax application for masking and texture.
