Wayne Thiebaud 100: Paintings, Prints & Drawings at the Crocker Art Museum
2021-01-03 | Crocker Art Museum, 216 O Street, Sacramento, CA, 95814
To celebrate the 100th birthday of Sacramento’s most renowned artist, the Crocker Art Museum presents Wayne Thiebaud 100: Paintings, Prints, and Drawings. Best known for his tantalizing paintings of cakes and pies, Thiebaud has long been affiliated with Pop art, though his body of work is far more expansive. This exhibition represents the artist’s achievements in all media, with pieces drawn from the Crocker’s holdings and from the collection of the Thiebaud family—many of which, until now, have never been shown publicly.
The exhibit will close on January 3, 2021. Please check the museum’s website for information admission prices and for the days and hours the museum is open. As Sacramento County has temporarily closed museums for public access as of 11/13/2020, please check the museum website for updates on reopening.

Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta National Heritage Area Management Plan Open House and Public Workshop - Benicia
2021-08-30 17:15 - 20:00 | Benicia Veterans Memorial Hall, 1150 1st St., Benicia, CA, 94510
You are invited!
Visit and learn about the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta National Heritage Area and discuss your ideas to preserve, celebrate, and share the important stories and places of the Delta and Carquinez Strait.
In 2019, Congress designated the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and Carquinez Strait as the first National Heritage Area in California.
Now it’s time to plan for the future of this special place.
We invite you to attend either of two public workshops on the management plan process for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta NHA. We will discuss the types of initiatives that the NHA could pursue, what stories you want to tell about the region, and how partners can be involved in the NHA.
NHAs are nationally significant living landscapes – places that recognize their history, heritage, and culture while continuing to advance and change. NHAs are community-driven and serve as catalysts for community revitalization projects, such as revitalization of historic Main Streets, investments in historic and cultural attractions, trails, and riverfront access, and development of businesses opportunities.
The Delta Protection Commission is the coordinating entity for the NHA, one of 55 NHAs across the country. For more information about the Delta National Heritage Area, visit our NHA webpage.
