Gallery tips for Placerville

Gallery-going in Placerville? A few habits help:

• Ask about private views at Volution Gallery. Mailing lists get you invited to previews — quieter, with the artists around and first pick of the work.
• Read the wall text at Gold Country Artists Gallery. It's short and it's there to help. Even the cryptic ones give you a way into the work.
• Visit twice if it moves you. A second visit to a strong show is never wasted. You see completely different work the second time.
• The bookshop corner is curated. Gallery bookshops stock the art books the big stores don't. Worth ten minutes on the way out.
