About this Event

Join us at the Pence Gallery for our 2nd Friday ArtAbout reception on November 14, 6-9 PM. Enjoy browsing the art exhibits, shopping in the Holiday Market, complimentary wine, and an art-themed scavenger hunt. Free admission!


Robert Ortbal: Encounters | Oct. 10 - Nov. 30

Robert Ortbal combines a vast array of both common and odd materials, applying them in endless variations to create small-scale, uniquely masked figures, traveling-case environments that house them, and wearable sculptures that are, at times, worn outside the gallery environment in performative public works. 


Holiday Market | Nov. 14 - Dec. 24

The Pence’s Holiday Market is a treasure trove of handcrafted items made by regional artists and artisans, perfect for holiday gift giving. Visitors can shop from cozy knit scarves, unique jewelry, ceramics, paintings, and much more. With 50+ participating artists, our gallery will be overflowing with fun items that will make great gifts for the season.


Raquel Cox: Beauty, Seen and Felt | Oct. 3 - Nov. 30

Raquel Cox is an oil painter whose recent work celebrates the beauty of nature and the way it lifts the human spirit. Painting mainly from life, Raquel portrays a wide variety of subjects but is particularly fascinated with observing the structure, delicacy, vibrancy, and impermanence of flowers. 


Marlene Lee: Surrounding Landscapes | Oct. 3 - Nov. 16

View a series of oil paintings by plein air painter Marlene Lee along the stairway. The artist portrays the farms and ranches she visited while participating in Yolo Arts' Art & Ag Project. In her work, she captures the different shades of greens or reds of the landscapes, as well as small details that reveal signs of human habitation.


Scavenger Hunt: Join us for a fun, art-themed scavenger hunt at the Pence during the 2nd Friday ArtAbout. Complete all of the clues by exploring our exhibits for the chance to win a special prize.



Visit the Pence and other venues in Downtown Davis for the 2nd Friday ArtAbout artwalk. We will have printed ArtAbout guides available that week. Follow the ArtAbout’s Facebook page for more information: https://www.facebook.com/davisartabout.
