2nd Friday ArtAbout: A Self Guided Art Walk of Davis

February 10, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Free

Pence Gallery and The Artery have orchestrated the return of 2nd Friday ArtAbout, a monthly self guided artwalk exploring art installations and receptions at galleries, art co-ops, and businesses in Davis. This free event offers art, activities, live music, and opportunities to converse with featured artists. The DDBA is currently sponsoring a portion of costs necessary to revive 2nd Friday ArtAbout.

2nd Friday ArtAbout takes place on the second Friday of each month, with a handful of businesses taking part. As we hopefully emerge from the COVID pandemic soon, we anticipate more businesses to rejoin the event in the upcoming months!

Discover local and regional talent, new artistic styles, and unique creations while experiencing the vibrancy of downtown. Come out with your friends and loved ones and savor this local experience.

2nd Friday ArtAbout generally runs from 5 – 9 pm, but each venue has their own specific reception time. See the monthly 2nd Friday ArtAbout Guide and Map for specifics (available at the Pence Gallery or via download).
