While best known for the charming pet portraits she calls PawTraits, local artist Nikki Solone hosted her first “collaborative art piece” during last September’s Sac Open Studios. Called “What Color is Your Freedom?” and held at Solone’s studio in East Sacramento, the event invited people of all ages and skill levels to select and mix a paint color, and then add it to a 4-by-4-foot canvas. The finished work was displayed at Clunie Community Center in McKinley Park in October.
C.K. McClatchy High School’s Visual and Performing Arts Program will hold its second annual Gala on Saturday, Feb. 2, in the school’s 800-seat, state-of-the-art theater.
