October will feature Cars in the gallery! Cars celebrates one of the our most beloved forms of transportation with art in some form of the automobile. Art Of Toys Cars Show will feature the unique perspective of photographer Alister Oliver , whimsical paintings from Wendy Giminski and the sleek designs of Julian Meager. Show will include car art, car photos, vintage and new toy cars.
On 2nd Saturday from 5 until dark we will have Artie Annette offering a FREE car art project for all ages! Start at Art Of Toys to get it all in before dark! There are 22 restaurants within a block of the gallery located in the heart of the Handle District.
Alister Oliver -The Grandson of a mechanic and the son of a Jaguar engineer, basically had no choice than to cherish and capture all types of automobiles in his memorable photos. All ages will appreciate the art found in the simple lines of design found in Alister’s photos. . Alister now calls Sacramento his home and can often be found shooting the local life of the Midtown grid.
