M.A.P. Midtown Alley Project

Featured Artist: Pat Orner

Artist Quote:

"Cafe' Des Arts was inspired by Midtown's many outdoor cafes and coffee houses. I felt compelled to paint the feeling I get when experiencing one of my favorite pastimes, which is people watching. I wanted to create a place we all have been to and enjoyed at one time in or another. Cafe Des Arts was envisioned as a colorful establishment...a place that evokes a warm cozy ambiance along with a salute to our growing art community. With my brush, I was able to render what I most often feel when I think of Sacramento. Thank you for this opportunity. It was a pleasure"
