FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Blue Valentine and Heart of Glass – February 4-28, 2026
SACRAMENTO, January 1, 2026 – Archival Gallery will present “Blue Valentine” a group show, and “Heart of Glass” by JC Strote February 4-28, 2026. The Gallery will hold a singles and couples Second Saturday public reception on Valentine’s Day, February 14 from 5-8PM featuring a champagne reception.
“This year we’re bringing back a blast from the past, ‘Blue Valentine’ – and why not since Second Saturday falls on Valentine’s Day this year? We invite singles and couples to join us for the reception where we’ll pass out colored bead necklaces so everyone knows who is available for love in the new year. Guests will enjoy a champagne and strawberries reception while browsing new artwork in blue themes in the main gallery, plus a collection of glass hearts by JC Strote on the front wall.”
