1st
review,
but
have
attended
a
handful
of
art
shows
over
the
past
5
years
they've
been
open:
--
Easy
to
find/access,
as
it's
the
large,
2-story,
historic
Mills
Station
building
at
the
name
sake
light
rail
station
at
Mather
Field
Rd
x
Folsom
Blvd.
--
Plenty
of
parking
&
shade
in
the
large
lot
shared
with
a
steady
stream
of
light
rail
customers/commuters/students.
--
Check
The
MACC
(Mills
Arts
&
Culture
Center)
webpage
for
days/times
open
as
they
vary
show
by
show
and
event
by
event.
That
said,
the
typical
show
runs
about
three
weeks,
and
is
open
for
viewing
Thurs
-
Fri
3p-7p,
and
Sat
11a
-
8p.
--
I
recommend
catching
a
Show's
Opening
night
(typically
a
Thursday),
as
the
fanfare
creates
quite
a
buzz--cafe
lights
&
bistro
tables
outside,
fresh
water
&
lemonade
plus
finger
foods
inside,
along
with
live
musicians,
and
an
occassional
show's
artist
as
well.
A
make-shift,
for-purchase
bar
is
setup
inside
for
the
first
night.
Seven
year
old
grandson,
hubby,
and
I
had
a
blast
at
How
Sweet
It
Is
show's
opening
night.
--
Upstairs,
is
the
restrooms,
self-checkout
art
library
book
shelves,
stay-n-read
chairs/books,
and
a
prominant,
local
artist's
gallery...also
likely
on
hand
on
opening
night.
There
is
an
elevator
(at
entrance/center
of
building)
as
well.
Our
grandson
ensured
we
gave
it
a
test
ride...it
runs
very
smooth/quiet,
plenty
of
room.
--
All
is
FREE,
unless
one
wants
to
imbibe
in
the
opening
night
alcoholic
beverages
offered,
or
buy
a
piece
of
art.
A
wonderful
way
to
wind
down
after
a
long
day
at
work,
or
to
take
the
gradeschooler
to
impress
some
art
&
culture,
plus
pick
up
a
free,
self-checkout/return
(honor
system)
art
book--quite
the
collection
on
several
half
bookshelves
at
the
top
of
the
stairs.
--
All
is
VERY
well
laid
out.
A
lot
of
thought
and
preparation
goes
into
the
presentation
of
the
show
pieces
displayed
individually
and
collectively
with
the
u-shaped
gallery
downstairs
and
open
floor,
rectangular
upstairs
exhibits.
--
Besides
the
ongoing
show,
The
MACC
puts
on
sub-shows/events
randomly
throughout
any
given
month
that
range
from
age
specific
to
all
ages.
Some
cost
money
and
some
don't.
Once
again,
go
to
The
MACC
website
for
details.
