Arts | UC Davis

Welcome to the Arts Blog

The arts blog covers the arts at UC Davis and beyond — the arts scene in Sacramento Valley and Bay Area that UC Davis folks might enjoy, as well as work by UC Davis artists (alumni, faculty, students, staff), wherever they are showing or performing. Media should feel free to share its contents. Content submissions are welcome.

This blog is created and maintained by Karen Nikos-Rose in UC Davis Strategic Communications.
