You have seen their performances and displays around town, and now you have the chance to visit with local artists face to face and experience art in-the-making. Here’s a peek at what’s in store…

Experience Solar Poppy, Crocker Art Museum’s large-scale installation blending art and technology designed by Sacramento-based artist, Anthony Padilla. Solar Poppy collects and stores energy from the sun during the day to power the sculpture’s glowing LED lights and USB charging ports. Have a seat and charge up while you enjoy some tunes.
