photography, painting, textiles, drawings, and more.
823 Sutter Street, Folsom, CA, 95630.

The Folsom History Museum has a wonderful exhibit now through May 9 titled "California Pioneer Spirit in Art" sponsored by the California Pioneer Heritage Foundation. Shenna Mealy, on the Art Exhibit Committee, says that it is well worth the $4 adults, Youth 12-17 $2, under 12 - free, to go there and take a look at the art that people from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have done depicting the pioneer spirit in California.

The exhibit includes painting, photos, textiles and sculptures done by 70 LDS artists living in the Sacramento Temple District. There are 3 categories of participants – 8-11 years, 12-18 years, adults. The Best of Show winner – Sarah Croft – was in the Youth category and will attend BYU in Provo this fall.
