The next exhibit at the Gallery at 48 Natoma in Folsom is simply gorgeous. Three artists working in floral and landscape imagery push the boundaries of their medium with formed glass, photorealistic flowers, and incredible textile pieces. Katie Shulte Joung creates largescale glass and metal flowers, some of which are free standing. Nataly Tikhomirov paints amazing tromp-l’oeil (deceives the eye) watercolors and Sandra Mollon stitches incredible appliquéd textile pieces. “Glass, Paper and Scissors," will be on display at the Gallery at 48 Natoma, from September 8 to November 8, 2023.

In the adjacent Community Art Gallery, the Folsom Arts Association will display their annual membership show with the theme Autumn’s Bounty from September 1 to November 8, 2023.  The art works will be judged, and ribbons and prizes will be awarded.

An opening reception for both exhibits is planned for Friday, September 8, from 6-8 p.m. Entrance is free and open to the public with complimentary refreshments and live saxophone music by Jerry Fairlee.

As an additional treat, The 5th Annual Handblown Glass Pumpkin Patch will be open the weekend of October 14, 15, from 10-5, at the Art Center at 48 Natoma. Over 5,000 artist-made pumpkins will be on display and available for purchase as a major fundraiser for the Art Center.
