Davis Art Studio Tour
April 12—13
10a—5p
The Davis Art Studio Tour brings a weekend of inspiration and intimacy, as more than 40 Davis-based artists open the doors of their private art studio to the public.
This free two-day, self-guided tour gives incredible insight to the artists who call these studios home.
Studio locations span the map of Davis—each one as unique as the artist who inhabits it. Guests are able to spend time visiting with artists who work in painting, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, encaustic, mixed media, and more.
It’s Pinar Brummer’s first year joining the studio tour as an artist. She calls her studio, Pixley Ceramics, her “sanctuary”. It’s where she works on wheel-thrown and hand-built ceramics and sculptures.
“The majority of the time, I am working in my studio or taking long walks in nature by myself. I always say I am alone but never lonely. On the other hand, however, I find tremendous joy in interacting with other folks when I am doing markets or visiting art shows. There is something utterly satisfying about exploring art together. I am very excited and eager to have visitors,” Brummer told The Dirt.
“In the same sense, I want visitors to come and explore where I create so that they can perhaps get a better understanding of my work. My studio is a direct reflection of my sense of aesthetics, almost like a calling card.”
Tour solo, or make an event of the weekend with friends and family.
An exhibit previewing the Davis Art Studio Tour runs through April 20 at the Pence Gallery, 212 D Street, Davis.
