FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
All Your Friends Are Here, Ceramics by Kelly Graves – June 6-27, 2026
ELK GROVE, May 1, 2026 – The Elk Grove Fine Arts Center will present All Your Friends Are Here, a ceramics collection by art instructor Kelly Graves June 6-27, 2026. The exhibition opens with a First Saturday Public Reception on June 6 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
“My journey with art making has always been one of experimentation and exploration,” said Graves. “I never take my art or myself too seriously – there is always an element of fun and funk in whatever I do. I have a love for creating creatures in clay… an exploration of fantasy, abstraction and playfulness.”
The First Saturday reception is free and open to the public. Guests will enjoy refreshments, live music, artist talks, and an opportunity to meet many of the featured artists exhibiting work at the Center.
