Color guide & map

ArtAbout is Davis' monthly art walk. It takes place on the second Friday of each month from approximately 7PM to 9PM. Most galleries hold their receptions at this time. Some businesses also participate as ArtAbout venues. Printed maps are available at The Artery, Pence Gallery, International House Davis, and other ArtAbout participants. This is all free, of course.

It was founded by The Artery, and is overseen by a committee consisting of core members Joy Cohan (Davis Downtown Business Association AKA DDBA), Melanie Glover (Davis Art Center, DDBA), Natalie Nelson & Eileen Hendren (Pence Gallery), and Cathie Duniway & Diana Fong (The Artery). Melanie Glover was hired by the DDBA in February 2010 as the new ArtAbout Coordinator. She is in charge of matching artists with Downtown businesses. All artists and businesses interested in participating should contact her at artabout@davisdowntown.com.

The Winters Art Walk is the week before, and the Sacramento Second Saturday art walk follows it (usually, depending on the calendar) the next day; these are also highly recommended.

If you've never been on an art gallery walk, I highly recommend it. Free food, great art, cool people. It changed my world. Really. -SteveDavison
