There’s no doubt it’s a Golden October (or ARTober) here in our city and Sacramento365 is excited to have the opportunity to have Bryan Valenzuela as this month’s Featured Artist!
We met up with the Golden 1 Center artist to reflect on his acclaimed, “Multitudes Converge”, and to learn how the Sacramento region is supporting his creative journey.
