SUMMARY:Call to Artists! Slice: A Juried Exhibit of Regional Art 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Pence’s Slice exhibit\, now in its 14th year\, is open for submission by California artists working in any medium (except video or sound). This is an ‘open theme’ exhibit\, which showcases art that is conceptually thoughtful\, technically skilled\, and representative of contemporary trends in art. Two-dimensional work must not exceed 36” wide\, and three-dimensional work must not exceed 75 lb. Applicants may submit between 1-3 images of work for review\, with an artist statement and resume\, at www.callforentry.org\, and pay $35 for Pence Members ($40 for non-Pence Members) by May 12th\, 9 PM PST. Prizes of $200-400 will be awarded by the juror during the reception. \nThis year’s juror is Gioia Fonda\, an interdisciplinary artist working primarily in two-dimensional media (painting\, drawing\, sewing\, and photography) with occasional forays in sculpture\, social practice and public art. Regardless of media\, she tends to work in a colorful and non objective manner\, but just under the surface\, her work is often imbued with storytelling and narrative. She has a bi-coastal art education\, having earned a BFA at the California College of the Arts and an MFA at the School of Visual Arts in New York. Gioia is a dedicated member of the Sacramento art community contributing as an artist\, curator\, jurist\, and collaborator.

SUMMARY:The Abstract Language of Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:The Abstract Language of Ceramics\nExhibit: April 10 – June 3\, 2026\nReception: April 10\, 6-9 PM (Free) \nThe Abstract Language of Ceramics features the work of ceramic artists Karyn Gabriel\, Mark Goudy\, Kris Marubayashi\, Liza Riddle\, and Laura Van Duren. Together\, these artists create striking geometric and biomorphic forms that underline their pursuit of simple forms inspired by nature. Karyn Gabriel’s woven vessels and hangings merge the idea of fiber and weaving with the flexible nature of clay. Goudy’s current sculptures are modeled on mathematical equations\, which he adapts on the computer\, using new technology to design and create molded forms. Kris Marubayashi’s vessels have a sense of movement and balance\, and employ natural textures and an earth-toned palette. Liza Riddle’s modified cubes\, hanging plinths\, and circles use color sparingly to emphasize the beauty of cracks that form while drying. Laura Van Duren shows a playful incorporation of found objects\, textiles\, and clay\, closely resembling the corporal reality of human interaction. \nThis exhibit is sponsored by Hollie Malamud & Chris Kelsch\, and Helen McClosky\, in memory of ceramicist Shelly Simon. \nImage:\nLaura Van Duren\, “Curl”\nKris Marubayashi\, Untitled\nKaryn Gabriel\, “Aspen Brick”\nMark Goudy\, “Flux Series”\nLiza Riddle\, Untitled

SUMMARY:Echoes of Resilience: Unveiling Stories of Devastation\, Survival\, and Hope
DESCRIPTION:Zeru Foundation\, in collaboration with International House Davis\, presents Echoes of Resilience\, a traveling multimedia exhibition centered on the lived experiences of survivors of the 2023 Türkiye–Syria earthquakes.\nDeveloped through fieldwork in earthquake-affected regions of Türkiye\, the exhibition brings together oral narratives\, photography\, music\, personal artifacts\, and visual art to document stories of loss\, survival\, and rebuilding. The exhibition also includes educational materials exploring the impacts of trauma and pathways toward healing.\nOn display as part of the Roots & Routes series at International House Davis\, the exhibition invites visitors to reflect on themes of migration\, displacement\, belonging\, and the meaning of home. \nThe exhibition includes: \n– Guided walk-throughs highlighting personal stories and broader themes of identity and migration\n– “We Are Still Here” a participatory installation by Talebeyiz Biz\, a youth-led cooperative supporting creative expression among young people in earthquake-affected communities.\n– A community dialogue session facilitated by Zeru Foundation and I-House Davis.\n– At its core\, the exhibition asks: How do individuals and communities rebuild after profound disruption? And how can art and storytelling support healing and resilience?\nThis exhibition is presented in conjunction with the symposium “The 2023 Türkiye–Syria Earthquakes: Three Years Later” hosted by UC Davis Global Affairs.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Cheri Radke
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening to hear about Cheri Radke’s debut novel\, An Accident of Dragons! \nAbout the Author \nCheri Radke has been a librarian\, a bookseller\, and an academic coordinator. She studied Linguistics at New York University and went on to earn a Masters in Library and Information Science from Kent State University. She lives in Woodland\, California and can be found on social media @cheriradke. \nAbout the Book \nAn unlikely lord finally meets a problem he can’t flirt his way out of in this adventurous and light-hearted queer cozy fantasy featuring pirates\, dragons\, kidnapping\, tea\, and other high-fantasy delights for readers of Rebecca Thorne\, TJ Klune\, Sarah Beth Durst\, and Travis Baldree. \nIn theory\, the dragoness of Summer can make any resident on her island the ruler\, if the previous Lord Summer is so careless as to die without an heir. In practice\, absolutely no one expected her to choose Teddy\, the last lord’s middle-aged fancy man. With his quick wit\, heaps of charisma\, and excellent dress sense\, Teddy brings plenty of virtues to his new role\, but statecraft\, pedigree\, and decorum are not among them. That’s all right: he’s done his duty to the island\, and his five-year-old daughter\, Zinnia\, will make a brilliant Lady Summer when her time comes. \nExcept when a ship of desperate mainlander thieves arrives\, Zinnia’s caught in the fracas and taken hostage. Teddy jumps into the rescue mission without delay\, even though his days of adventures on the mainland are long buried with his lover. But his sailors have never seen their destination\, and worse\, the hard-liner admiral who leads them thinks Teddy’s a worthless dandy. Against a conniving robber baron\, a sorceress who’s tamed her own dragon\, and ordinary people with everything to lose\, the crew faces terrible odds. But with all he loves in danger\, Teddy must prove there’s more to him than he’d ever intended to show. \n
