Auburn Art Walk This Thursday

The Auburn Art Walk returns to Old Town and Downtown Auburn from 6:00 to 9:00pm on Thursday, June 14. Enjoy an evening of live music and conversations with artists in over two dozen businesses.  Here are a few highlights of this month's Art Walk:

The Arts Building Gallery debuts "30 & Under," a first ever collection of work by our area's most talented young artists. Also on display downstairs at The Arts Building are works by students of Linda Green.

Across the street at Monkey Cat Restaurant you'll find the work of Elora Milby, a talented young artist who is co-curating the "30 & Under" show at The Arts Building.

Southside Art Center artists celebrate the theme "Over the Rainbow" in their group show. Other group shows include Aubrey Straub, Patricia Bradley and students of Traci Owens at Studio Eight 02, and watercolor students of Sonya Hamilton at the Chocolate Shoppe and Gift Emporium.

Tango Frozen Yogurt features the whimsical, dream-like acrylic paintings of Kara Maria Schunk, which incorporate florescent colors and glitter.

Enjoy the hand-painted boxes of Vivian Justus at Gimme Cake Too. Using cigar boxes and a variety of hand-crafted finishes, each of these functional boxes is a true keepsake. 

At Sierra Moon Goldsmiths you'll find assemblage, monotype and collage pieces created by Diane Rukhala Bell, who whimsically incorporates collected remnants of old quarry sheds into her collages.

Live music provided by the Auburn Arts Commission includes The Old West Trio at Herschel Young Park in Old Town and Sambandha World Music at the Clock Tower. Also, Music and Poetry will be in the Garden at the Old Library Art Studios, where you'll also find works by the students of artists in residence Thien Dao and Paula Amerine.
