When: August 6 to August 20, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Where: Placerville Shakespeare Club 2940 Bedford Ave, Placerville, CA
Both local and non-local artists are invited to enter their works at this open art show. The contest will allow artists to submit paintings, photographs, drawings, and 3D art.

Diana has worked as an animator for Warner Bros and Disney and now is a professor at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.
When: June 9 to August 26
Where: El Dorado Arts Council 772 Pacific Street, Placerville, CA
Local photographer Caitlin Thompson teamed up with George Wheeldon, an emeritus professor of geology to discover and portray the fascinating features of the Deep Blue Lead channel. This dead river was home to many gold veins and helped shape the history of the area as it wound through granite slabs and past lava rock formations.
Hangtown Thursday Night Car Show
When: August 31, 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Where: Historic Main Street, Placerville CA
Marvel at classic and historic cars as you walk down a closed-off Historic Main Street in Placerville. Maybe you will spot a car you owned growing up or the one that you always wanted. Entries are limited to cars with the model year of 1975 or older. Awards will be given to entrants such as best of show, best paint, interior, motorcycle, and much more. There will be local food vendors there in case you get hungry and music to entertain everyone.
