There’s a new stop on the Second Saturday route: Uptown Studios. The marketing and design firm has been around since the 1990s and recently moved to 23rd and X streets. For April, it is hosting Sacramento-based artist Susan J. Silvester’s Looking Forward, Looking Back. Silvester is known for creating the critter sculptures and cartoons on the iconic ’80s children’s show Pee-wee’s Playhouse, among other projects. In her current exhibition, expect to see her signature motifs of innocence and melancholy via children, rabbits and forests in digital drawings, cyanotype and encaustic.
