Downtown Art Walk

Art is all around us! Let’s take some time to look around and appreciate it in honor of our friend Charlene Goodman. This will be a self-guided art walk around the Sacramento convention center and State Capitol to explore and interact with a number of forms of art nearby. For those who would like to go with a group, we offer daily walks led by a member of the Health and Community Concerns Commission or the Arts Education Committee. For those who are not able to participate in the walk, there will be a virtual experience as well.

Advocacy Celebration
Saturday, April 22 | 1:00 PM
Free

Let’s celebrate our advocacy work at the California State Capitol. Meet at the west steps before 1:00 for a professional picture in front of the Capitol. You’ll be part of the living legacy of California State PTA. We’ll take the picture at 1:00 so arrive a little early–we have a special permit so don’t be late. Thank you to Adams Photography for helping us with this celebration.
