East Sacramento and Midtown is throwing a party to celebrate the 75th anniversary of McKinley Library and Clunie Community Center. As part of the celebration, McKinley East Sacramento Neighborhood Association is planning an art exhibit and sale of art from regional plein-air artists. The group is hosting the first Sacramento Plein-Air Paint-Out. Paintings by 17 artists will be on display in the Clunie entrance hall and auditorium. All the art will be available for purchase, with a portion of the proceeds going to projects in the neighborhood supported by MENA. The art will be judged by various community leaders and the show attendees and cash awards presented to the winning artists.

Special guests from Sacramento Art Deco Society will attend in period costumes, and vintage cars from the 1930s will be parked in front of the library.

And no party would be complete without cupcakes and old-fashioned root beer floats.

The event is co-sponsored by City Councilmember Steve Cohn, the East Sacramento Chamber of Commerce, the McKinley East Sacramento Neighborhood Association and Inside Publications.

Schedule:
-8am-Noon: Plein-Air Paint-Out
-1pm-2pm: Presentations on the history of East Sacramento and Midtown, McKinley Park, Clunie Center, and the library by historians and authors Bill Mahon and Amanda Graham.
-1pm-4pm: Special programs for children at the library, including: old-fashioned children’s activities and board games from the 1930s such as Scrabble. At 2pm, Penny the Clown will perform.
-1pm-4pm: Across the hall in the Clunie Center auditorium, there will be dancing to live big-band music by SwingMasters.
