“Remnants and the Course of Life”/ “Retazos e Hilo de la Vida”: Sacramento’s La Raza Galería Posada Presents Multimedia artist Mariana Castro de Ali. The fabric of women’s lives, quite literally, is the subject of multimedia artist Mariana Castro de Ali. This new exhibit continues La Raza Galería Posada’s 2010 spotlight of Latina artists from both Mexico and California.

The artist reception open to the media and public is on Friday, July 9 from 7pm-9pm. Castro de Ali’s materials might startle some. “I live in a mundane world; I create art with things that surround me. I use tampons, coffee filters, thread, and tea bags, and also canvases, watercolors and traditional printmaking techniques. I enjoy the juxtapositions of these apparently opposite elements (the traditional materials and the mundane ones), it makes my art credible, real. “ La Raza Galería Posada is a non-profit, multi-disciplinary cultural center located in the lively Midtown district at 1022-1024 22nd Street between J and K Sts. in Sacramento.

On the second Saturday of each month, many local Sacramento galleries feature new shows of individual and collective artists. Many galleries play host to the artists so it's a wonderful way to meet them in person. Some galleries provide beverages, Hors d oeuvres, live music and even dinner with the artist!

Since many galleries are grouped into two main areas in Sacramento, midtown and along Del Paso Blvd (The Uptown Arts District), many people like to take an ARTWALK and wonder from gallery to gallery and make and evening of art and people viewing. More galleries and venues can be found in Old Sacramento, Downtown Sacramento as well as in outlying areas including Folsom & Fair Oaks.

Start Time(s): <p>Hourly&nbsp;Thurs-Sun 10am-6pm (the last tour departs at 5pm)<br /> Tours last approximately 45 minutes in length&nbsp;</p>

Beginning on Saturday, July 10, the entertaining and history-rich "Old Sacramento Underground" tours will provide visitors with a unique glimpse into the massive and dramatic raising of the streets of Sacramento in the 1860s through the 1870s to protect the city from devastating flooding. In fact, Old Sacramento has the distinction of being the only city in California to raise its streets and is also one of the very first in the nation to do so.

Underground tour visitors will have the opportunity to view disappearing windows and doors, dipping alleyways, exposed retaining walls, walk into underground hollow sidewalks and tour historic buildings, all while being entertained and educated by costumed tour guides and docents who portray characters true to the period.
