bioghist: label: Biographical / Historical
content: The Candy Store Gallery was founded by Adeliza McHugh in Folsom, California in 1962. The gallery primarily exhibited the works of teachers and students from California State University at Sacramento and the University of California at Davis. The gallery also hosted multiple solo exhibitions from artists such as Robert Arneson, Sandra Shannonhouse, and Luis Jimenez. The gallery closed in 1992. 

Adeliza McHugh (1912-2003) was an American art dealer and gallery owner who worked primarily in Sacramento County. McHugh originally started her business to sell homemade nougat, but opposition from the Health Department caused her to convert her candy store into a small art gallery. Although McHugh had little professional art experience, her countercultural tastes caused the Candy Store Gallery to become a fixture of the Sacramento art world.
