Description

• Visit Website

In an effort to extend and amplify engagement with the local arts community, DOCO (Downtown Commons) has entered into a year-long marketing partnership with Verge Center for the Arts to co-present free Second Saturday activities at the plaza plus sponsor the 14th Annual Sac Open Studios tour program this fall.

The community is invited to participate in free Second Saturday activities happening each month at DOCO. Volunteers and staff members from Verge Center for the Arts will be on-site from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. to help with most of the monthly hands-on activities offered at the plaza. A few of the upcoming art-related Second Saturday offerings include the following:

• Saturday, February 9 – Lunar New Year paper lantern and Year of the Pig button making
• Saturday, March 9 – St. Patricks’ Day-related stamp making (made from potatoes)
• Saturday, April 13 – an Easter-related fun and colorful daffodil making activity for all ages

Craft supplies will be provided and are available on a first-come, first-served basis and are subject to change (based on weather and other conditions).  All event details and calendar announcements can be found on DOCOSacramento.com/Events or Facebook.com/DOCOSacramento.

In addition to many collaborative Second Saturday activities at the plaza, DOCO is a proud sponsor of the 14th Annual Sac Open Studios art tour led by Verge Center for the Arts. Leading up to the studio tours in September, DOCO will be an active partner in the community-wide celebration of local arts as the site of an advance kick-off event when the guides are released.

More information about DOCO’s involvement in Sac Open Studios will be available at a later date at DOCOSacramento.com and VergeArt.com.
