Rising Sun

Begin your day with a bit of energy this Saturday during the Buddhist Church of Sacramento’s Japanese Bazaar. From taiko drums to dancers and singers, this is more than just an entertaining day of cultural arts, it’s a educational experience for the whole family with demonstrations of hand-made dolls, calligraphy, and more. And did we mention all the freshly prepared food!?

Good Grammer

Beauty From Ashes” is a powerful body of work from Wide Open Walls muralist Shane Grammer reflecting a hopeful portrayal of the devastation and beauty following the Camp Fire of 2018. Capital Public Radio hosts these works, which aim to elicit hope in rebuilding after the fire, with a reception featuring complimentary wine pours.
