Let Me Introduce You To My Town-Kings Art Center-Part 7

Last year, I found that Walmart was selling the game Hanfordopoly. It’s like Monopoly, but for my town. Well, I had to buy it! Then Lauren and I went around town and took pictures of each of the places on the game board. It was so much fun! I can’t wait to introduce you to our sweet little town and some of its history.

Today we have the Kings Art Center. The Kings Art Center was opened in 1989 and it hosts gallery showings throughout the year, as well as art classes for adults and children. My kids took art classes here when they were kids.

‘The Kings Art Center provides hands-on art education coupled with high quality exhibitions of artwork from throughout California as well as from local artists. Together, our education and exhibition programs provide a comprehensive visual art and cultural experience to our visitors.’

The Common Threads Quilts and Agriculture Show is the exhibit showing right now. So many beautiful quilts! I really admire the people who make these because this is something I have not done and don’t think I have the patience to do so!

This western quilt was huge! I can’t imagine how long this would have taken.

We live in a farming community, so this Christmas quilt is perfect for our town.

Flamingos!! I love flamingos! This quilt is so cute!!

One really cool art auction they are doing is old skateboards. Artists paint designs on the skateboards and there are amazing designs! The proceeds from this are going to benefit the central valley youth.
