Food * Fun* Fabulous Art

EVERY 1st SATURDAY, the artists, restaurants and merchants of Three Rivers, California, open their doors and invite you to join in a town-wide celebration from 11 to 5 o’clock (unless otherwise stated on Blog and Map). You can pick up a map and schedule at Kaweah Arts and the Three Rivers Historical Museum – the map shows all participating venues, art to see, locations and times for special events.

It’s time for Food, Fun and Fabulous Art celebrating 1st Saturday in Three Rivers, July 6, 2024 from 11 to 5!  I, Nikki Crain, have the honor of being the Featured Artist this month.  I hope you will be brave enough to come out in this heat to my Air Conditioned Studio where I have 6 looms, each with a different project. I will offer new handwoven towels, shawls, Mug Rugs and other creations.  

Visit Shirley Keller at Spirit Hill Meditation Garden & Art Studio to see her dot art and learn about her 2 published books. Shirley invites you to sit and relax in the Meditation Garden while you are there.

At Harrison Hall at the Presbyterian Church, we have artists who will delight you with their various talents. Bertha Garza offers her wonderful Dazzling Dreams Natural Skin Care Products. Two nature photographers whose work is quite different are Scott Reinhardt with his stunning photography of the natural world  and Nature Photographer, Lace Montgomery conveying the beauty of the outdoors through her photos. Discover the crochet talent of art student Ella Hayswho makes whimsical crocheted creations. If you are feeling artistic yourself, Kacey Fansett will help you with a Free Make & Take Class.

Nancy Brunson has re-opened her shop, Kaweah Arts, in its new location called “The Dome”.  She offers art of all kinds, much of which is made by the artists you can meet on 1st Saturday.  Be sure to stop in and see this delightful building full of art of all kinds.

Three Rivers Historical Museum has a gift shop and books by local authors.  Don’t miss their new Native Voices exhibit!  PUBLIC RESTROOMS are also available at the Museum.

Try the newest place in town to eat: Tony’s Taverna on Wheels, serving fresh authentic Greek Food from their food truck in the parking lot of the Museum. Totem Market and Gifts (8 am to 8 pm) is where you can pick up BBQ & Beer and visit a Wine Tasting Bar. Last but certainly not least, a visit to Three Rivers is not complete without stopping at Reimer’s Candies and Gifts for some specially made candy and ice cream.

Maps with addresses and more information are available for you to pick up at the Historical Museum or Kaweah Arts. Remember that the map will also contain QR codes that link to more information about each location to help you plan your 1st Saturday experience. More information can be found on our website: www.1stSaturdayTR.com where you will soon be able to download a map.
