Art aficionados attending the March 14 gathering in the Library Gallery will find three receptions in one. The 5 p.m. soiree is a celebration for the Festival of the Arts, the four-day focus on Sacramento State’s fine art, design, performance and literary programs. It’s also the opening of the Faculty Art Show in the Library’s Main Gallery, and the Annex Gallery’s “La Raza Galeria Posada: Celebrating 30 Years of Literature, Art y Cultura.”

The reception is expected to pack the galleries and will include remarks by Jeffrey D. Mason, dean of the College of Arts and Letters. Hors d’oeuvres and refreshments will be served.

Participants who want to extend the evening may want to get advance tickets for one of the Festival’s other offerings that begin at 8 p.m. 42nd Street will be on stage at the University Theatre in Shasta Hall. And the Dangerous Lorraines modern dance and performance group will be in Solano Hall 1010.

Tickets for that night’s performance of 42nd Street are $15 general admission; $12 for students, seniors and Sacramento State employees; and $10 for children 11 years old or younger. Peters’ recital tickets are $8 general and $5 for students and seniors. Tickets for both events are available at the Sacramento State Ticket office, 278-4323 or www.tickets.com. Dangerous Lorraines tickets are $8 general and $5 for students and available at 278-6369 or 278-7033.

During the reception, the audience will be treated to works from Sacramento State’s own instructors with the Faculty Art Show. The exhibition will feature pieces in various media from about 30 members of the University’s Art department. It will run through May 24.

And “La Raza Galeria Posada” will celebrate 30 years of the cultural center in Sacramento with a display of pieces from the center’s archives. This exhibition is from the University’s Special Collections of a recent acquisition gifted from La Raza Galeria Posada. The display runs through April 19.
