Featured Artist: Anne Bradley
If you had window-shopped through Old Folsom, California between 1971 and 1994, you might have wandered into a row of little shops at 705 Sutter Street. Among the various boutiques there, you would have found a spattering of artists’ studios. And among them, you would have found the Back Street Gallery where Anne Bradley and her mother painted, created and delighted visitors with their artwork.
Anne’s mother was an oil landscape painter and Anne, influenced by her mother’s work went on, in her twenties, to take art lessons from their neighbor, a famous Russian oil painter.
Follow Anne’s journey through her art career and awards in the full-length article.
Crocker Holiday Artisan Market
Step into a world of creative wonder!
Now a Northern California holiday tradition, this three-day bazaar at Sacramento’s Scottish Rite Center delights art lovers of all ages. As children enjoy photos with Santa and face-painting by the Pixie Tribe Pixies, adults can meet and chat with artists, browse booths filled with juried artworks in glass, textiles, wood, ceramics, paper, photography, art jewelry, paintings and sculptures, all offered in a variety of price points.
Proceeds from the event support artists, Crocker Art Museum’s exhibition and educational programs, and Creatives Arts League of Sacramento’s outreach to Stanford Settlement, Sojourner Truth (SoJo), Women’s Wisdom Art, low-cost art tours, and other important community programs.
We wish to thank you for your patronage and best wishes for a delightful and warm holiday season!
