SUMMARY:Robert Arneson 30 Year Memorial Exhibit at Natsoulas
DESCRIPTION:The John Natsoulas Gallery is proud to present a new exhibition in honor of Robert Arneson (Sept. 4\, 1930 – Nov. 2\, 1992). Commemorating the 30-year anniversary of the passing of the great artist\, this show will offer visitors the chance to see amazing sculptures and works on paper by this artist who shaped the art of Northern California. Along with a stellar faculty at UC Davis\, Arneson established the world-renowned TB-9 studio space and resultantly founded one of the most ground-breaking ceramic departments in the world. \nArneson was born in Benicia\, California. He graduated from Benicia High School and spent much of his early life as a cartoonist for a local paper. He studied at California College of the Arts in Oakland for his BFA and went on to receive a MFA from Mills College in 1958. In the early 1960s\, Arneson and several other California artists began to abandon the traditional manufacture of functional ceramic objects and instead began to make nonfunctional sculptures that made confrontational\, political\, and social statements. The new movement was dubbed as Funk Art\, and Arneson is considered the father of the ceramic Funk movement. \nThe John Natsoulas Gallery makes a special note that Arneson was deeply involved with the inception of the gallery and it maintains profound admiration and respect for the community that continues on in Arneson’s stead.

SUMMARY:Gallery 1855: Margaret Eldred
DESCRIPTION:Gallery 1855 presents the artwork of Margaret Eldred from January 3rd through January 31st.  The Artist will be hosting a reception on Friday January 13th from 1 pm to 2 pm. \nThe gallery is located on the grounds of The Davis Cemetery at 820 Pole Line Road\, is open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information\, call 530-756-7807\, email judy@daviscemetery.org or visit www.daviscemetery.org. \n__ \nMargaret Eldred – Artist’s Statement–A Miscellany of Trees: \nI love trees–in the garden\, in orchards\, along the road\, or in the wildlands.  Whenever I go out by foot\, bicycle\, or car to explore the countryside\, I take my camera with me\, ready to capture a beautiful or unique tree. \nI call this show a miscellany because I strive to present the diversity of California’s trees.  I concentrate on natives–oaks of all kinds of course\, but also willows\, buckeyes\, manzanitas\, pines\, and more. I am fascinated by the way the kinds of trees change as one travels north and south\, uphill and down throughout the state. Most of the pictures here are of local trees\, primarily valley and blue oaks\, drawn from my meanderings along the back roads and trails of Yolo\, Solano\, and Contra Costa counties.  I am always on the lookout for interesting trees\, so I take photos of trees whenever I travel–backpacking in the Sierras\, walking in England\, trekking in Tanzania\, Botswana\, and Morocco–and turn them into drawings or paintings. So you will see bristlecone pines\, English sycamores\, yellow fever trees (acacias)\, and baobabs. I also like to explore the trees planted in gardens\, in orchards\, and along roadsides. \nThis show is also a miscellany because I use different media and different techniques. \nI use a technical pen for my drawings because it allows me to be very precise. I think of my drawings as tree portraits.  I zoom in to a close-up view\, focusing on branch structure\, leaf shape\, and other detail. I try to capture their individuality–what makes one species stand out from another\, what makes one tree stand out from its neighbors.  -I similarly use close-ups in my acrylic paintings but play around with different techniques–sometimes standard brush strokes\, sometimes palette knife painting\, sometimes broken color. Each one captures the light a little differently. Right now I am focusing on palette knife painting because I think the texture of palette knife marks most closely reflects the moving light of leaves in a gentle breeze. \nI love painting trees. It encourages me to get outside\, go hiking\, and observe them more closely. Their beauty\, complexity\, and place in the landscape continue to awe me.

SUMMARY:Tiny Show
DESCRIPTION:The Tiny Show in years past has been a community favorite with Pence staff\, members\, and visitors. Continuing in the spirit of our last Tiny Show\, which was held in 2017\, this exhibit features “tiny” works of art – modest-sized pieces limited to 5” x 7”. Various local and regional artists were invited to display their small but spectacular creations\, including Valentina Arenas\, Tamsen Armstrong\, Karen Burns\, Deziree Dizon\, Jim Darke\, and Amy Vidra\, among many others.  \nRanging from serious to whimsical\, the works of these artists challenge viewers to stop for a moment and really take the time to look closer. Their works are personal\, intimate\, and brimming with the tiniest of details\, including stitched red thread\, shadows cast by leaves\, and the barely-there whiskers of a playful possum. We encourage you to explore every work of art and see what details you can discover. While the works themselves may be small\, the creativity and artistic talent they reveal is immeasurable.  \n  \nExhibit dates: January 6 – February 26\, 2023 \nReception: Friday\, January 13\, 6 – 9 PM (free) \nAddress: Pence Gallery – 212 D Street\, Davis\, CA 95616 \nHours: 11:30 AM – 5 PM\, Tuesday – Sunday (closed Mondays) \n  \nImage: V.

SUMMARY:The Elusive Muse: New Work by Kelley Mogilka
DESCRIPTION:Kelley Mogilka’s figurative paintings and drawings center on capturing the elusive muse\, a creative force that flows from brush to canvas. By working from a model\, she looks for this inspiration in the subtle gestures\, glances\, or poses\, which often evoke a presence that is both timeless and ephemeral. Her use of harmonious color and expressive brushwork ultimately reflects an interest in capturing the sitter’s internal state of being. Mogilka was the recipient of the Pence Gallery’s Emerging Artist Award in 2022. \n  \nThe Elusive Muse: New Work by Kelley Mogilka \nExhibit dates: January 7 – February 3\, 2023 \nReception: Friday\, January 13\, 6 – 9 PM \nAddress: Pence Gallery – 212 D Street\, Davis\, CA 95616 \n  \nArtist Talk & Demo: \nSaturday\, January 14\, 1-2 PM (FREE) \nKelley Mogilka will talk about her current series of paintings\, sharing her method of working from models to compose her evocative subjects.  \n  \nSponsored by James R. & Suzette M. Smith\, as part of the Pence Gallery Emerging Artist Award.

SUMMARY:Mark Bulwinkle: A Retrospective Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Known for his manic steel silhouettes of dog-faced flowers and perverse\, joyful figures with\nelectrified grins\, Mark Bulwinkle’s nutty artwork can be spotted across the Pacific coast\, displayed\nproudly in windows\, overgrown gardens\, and small businesses. Bulwinkle’s graphically cut steel\npropelled him into fame\, influencing the creation of Burning Man in the 1980s and even leading him\nto reject an interview with Oprah in 1991. However\, lesser known but equally impressive is his\nextensive work in diverse media: ceramics\, silkscreen\, papier-mache\, and even digital illustration. His\nmastery acquired from 100-hour work weeks as a ship welder for Bethlehem Steel was important to\nthe development of his cut steel works\, but equally key was his early training as a skilled printmaker\nand graphic artist. Bulwinkle received an MFA in Printmaking from the San Francisco Art Institute\nin 1974\, making hundreds of fabulously intricate industrial enamel silkscreens and woodcuts. In\nthese early years\, he also learned ceramic slipcasting techniques from the renowned trompe l’oeil\nartist Richard Shaw. \nThis retrospective exhibition showcases Bulwinkle’s mastery of color and form in both two\nand three dimensions throughout the last 5 decades\, tracing the development of his art through\ndiverse materials and revealing the stories embedded in his work. On display are a selection of his\nwoodcuts and screen prints\, including several gorgeous prints from his time at the San Francisco Art\nInstitute. Bulwinkle’s flamboyant ceramic works from graduate school will also be featured\, as well\nas papier-mache works that once decorated the walls of his iconic Manilla St. House\, a towering steel\nassemblage sculpture built around a modest townhouse that became a landmark in Oakland from\n1975-1991. Recent cut steel works painted with colorful enamel will also be featured\, which are often\nimitated but unmistakably Bulwinkle’s. \n  \nThe John Natsoulas Gallery is delighted to exhibit half a century of works from this rather singular artist.In\naddition\, we are overjoyed to present “Freedumb\,” our brand new 18-foot steel piece by Mark Bulwinkle\, installed on\nthe gallery façade. \n  \n[IMAGE: \nMark Bulwinkle \nThe Future is Not Ours To See\, 1973\, Industrial synthetic enamel silkscreen\, 20” x 30”]

SUMMARY:2nd Friday ArtAbout!
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Pence Gallery for our 2nd Friday ArtAbout reception on January 13\, 6 – 9 PM (free admission).  \n  \nThe Elusive Muse: New Work by Kelley Mogilka \nJan. 7 – Feb. 3\, 2023 \nKelley Mogilka’s figurative paintings and drawings center on capturing the elusive muse\, a creative force that flows from brush to canvas. By working from a model\, she looks for this inspiration in the subtle gestures\, glances\, or poses\, which often evoke a presence that is both timeless and ephemeral. Her use of harmonious color and expressive brushwork ultimately reflects an interest in capturing the sitter’s internal state of being. \n  \nTiny Show \nJan. 6 – Feb. 26\, 2023 \nThe Tiny Show features “tiny” works of art – modest-sized pieces limited to 5” x 7”. Various local and regional artists were invited to display their small but spectacular creations\, including Valentina Arenas\, Tamsen Armstrong\, Karen Burns\, Deziree Dizon\, Jim Darke\, and Amy Vidra\, among many others. While the works themselves may be small\, the creativity and artistic talent they reveal is immeasurable. \n  \nMyrtle Press Prints: Portfolio x 2 \nDec. 9\, 2022 – Jan. 29\, 2023 \nPortfolio x 2 marks the first display of Myrtle Press’ invitational print exchanges in our region\, including prints made through various processes by respected printmakers. The exhibit brings together a sampling of printmakers’ work from 2020 and a new exchange of printmakers’ work\, inspired by the themes of origin and the hidden or unseen. \n  \n— \n  \nBrowse our exhibits and gift shop\, and explore other art venues in Downtown Davis. We will have printed ArtAbout maps available that night for your self-guided artwalk. Follow the 2nd Friday ArtAbout Facebook page for more information:  https://www.facebook.com/davisartabout. \n  \nImages: Kelley Mogilka\, “Viridian Woman”; Elizabeth Corkery\, “Villa Livia”; Karen Burns\, “A Faucet Dripping Ever so Slow but Filling the Bucket All the Same”

SUMMARY:Mark Bulwinkle Retrospective Exhibition Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the John Natsoulas Gallery in Davis\, California to see selected sculptures and prints from the 50-year career of the legendary artist Mark Bulwinkle\, the Oakland-based innovator of graphically cut steel. The exhibition will be open from January 11th\, 2023 to February 26\, 2023.  \nA public reception with music and refreshments will be held on January 13th\, 2023\, 7:00-9:00 pm.  \n Known for his manic steel silhouettes of dog-faced flowers and perverse\, joyful figures with electrified grins\, Mark Bulwinkle’s nutty artwork can be spotted across the Pacific coast\, displayed proudly in windows\, overgrown gardens\, and small businesses. Bulwinkle’s graphically cut steel propelled him into fame\, influencing the creation of Burning Man in the 1980s and even leading him to reject an interview with Oprah in 1991. However\, lesser known but equally impressive is his extensive work in diverse media: ceramics\, silkscreen\, papier-mache\, and even digital illustration. His mastery acquired from 100-hour work weeks as a ship welder for Bethlehem Steel was important to the development of his cut steel works\, but equally key was his early training as a skilled printmaker and graphic artist. Bulwinkle received an MFA in Printmaking from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1974\, making hundreds of fabulously intricate industrial enamel silkscreens and woodcuts. In these early years\, he also learned ceramic slipcasting techniques from the renowned trompe l’oeil artist Richard Shaw.  \nThis retrospective exhibition showcases Bulwinkle’s mastery of color and form in both two and three dimensions throughout the last 50 decades\, tracing the development of his art through diverse materials and revealing the stories embedded in his work. On display are a selection of his woodcuts and screen prints\, including several gorgeous prints from his time at the San Francisco Art Institute. Bulwinkle’s flamboyant ceramic works from graduate school will also be featured\, as well as papier-mache works that once decorated the walls of his iconic Manilla St. House\, a towering steel assemblage sculpture built around a modest townhouse that became a landmark in Oakland from 1975-1991. Recent cut steel works painted with colorful enamel will also be featured\, which are often imitated but unmistakably Bulwinkle’s.  \n  \nThe John Natsoulas Gallery is delighted to exhibit half a century of works from this rather singular artist. In addition\, we are overjoyed to present “Freedumb\,” our brand new 18-foot steel piece by Mark Bulwinkle\, installed on the gallery façade. \n[Image: Mark Bulwinkle\, Freedumb\, 2022\, Hand-cut steel\, 18’ tall]

SUMMARY:Lion King Jr. Auditions
DESCRIPTION:Davis Musical Theatre Company’s (DMTC) young performers division invites youth ages 7-17 (or 18 if still in high school) to come audition for Disney’s Lion King Jr. \nThe Lion King is the story of Simba\, an adventurous and energetic lion cub who is next in line to be king of the Pride Lands\, a thriving and beautiful region in the African savanna. When Simba’s father Mufasa is killed by his uncle Scar\, though\, Simba is led to believe that his father’s death is his fault\, and he is encouraged to run away forever. Scar seizes power and with his already unstable mind deteriorating\, the Pride Lands experiences a darkness and desolation from which only Simba can save the animals of the kingdom. Featuring classic songs from the film such as “Circle of Life\,” “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King\,” “Hakuna Matata\,” and “Can You Feel the Love Tonight\,” The Lion King is a story and a spectacle about identity\, family\, and responsibility that is enjoyed worldwide by people of all ages.
