McMartin Realty Opens Door for Arts & Crafts

Not all the artists at Sacramento's 2nd Saturday event are in galleries. McMartin Realty is opening up their parking lot to artists and crafters again this year. The big news is they'll also be adding the adjoining parking lot, creating more than twice as much space for vendors to exhibit their work. This is a great opportunity for people who are new to the Sacramento art world.


Park Your Art is a big hit with attendees.
