Art in Action
Our Art in Action family art workshops are back every month! This is a drop-in program for ages 5-12 that engages kids in art projects that are fun, creative, and collaborative with their family members. On Sunday, November 16, come create a festive fall garland using twine, decorative paper, leaf rubbings, acorns, and other natural materials.
CALL FOR ARTISTS: WORN
The Pence Gallery invites artists to submit artwork that captures the connection between clothing and one’s personal identity and/or culture. Artists can explore this open-ended theme through various media and subject matter. Selected work will become part of a new onsite exhibit, titled Worn, in the Learning Center Gallery at the Pence Gallery from January 9 – February 8, 2026. There is no fee to apply, and submissions are due by 5 PM on December 1, 2025, at bit.ly/penceartistcall.

The 2nd Friday ArtAbout is a wonderful celebration of new art exhibits, which are held at various locations throughout downtown Davis the evening of the 2nd Friday of every month. This free, monthly artwalk is a perfect activity to enjoy with family and friends!
