Museum event is all about the cars, as art

Sacramento, California -- One of the pleasures of my life is my association with the California Automobile Museum (CAM) here in Sacramento.

Simply put, CAM is all about the cars. On Sept. 10, the museum kicks off a fundraiser that will not only benefit the terrific hardware on display there, but also boost CAM's mission of educating and entertaining while promoting and preserving the automobile and its influence on our lives.

The "CAM Artomotive" group exhibit and silent auction is set for Sept. 10-Oct. 17, featuring fine art with an automotive theme. CAM's Sept. 10 opening reception at 2200 Front Street will run from 6 to 9 p.m. and highlight the art collection of Bill and Jo Janowski, presented in memory of Jo.

A $5 donation is requested at the reception. Local and national artists also stand to benefit from the exhibit.
