All proceeds from this fundraiser will directly support the gallery's exhibits, programs, and operational costs, which have gone up tremendously in the past year. Bidding opens online February 8 at midnight and closes March 2 at 5 PM PST through bit.ly/pencearchivesale. It’s free to bid, and easy to register. Please note that these works of art are not on public display at the Pence. You can arrange an in-person viewing, however, by making an appointment with the Director, Natalie Nelson, by calling 530-758-3370. Featured artists include Peter Voulkos, Maija Peeples-Bright, and Roy De Forest, among others, and we can’t wait to share them!

Bussie Parker Kehoe: A Curious Garden

Pence Gallery 212 D Street, Davis

PENCE GALLERY. The artist painstakingly pours discarded household paint into stacks of colorful circles, celebrating found materials in unusual ways. Kehoe views her work as reminiscent of the patterned Korean textiles from her youth, creating a lively ‘quilt’ full of texture and movement that seems to escape from its base.

Ronald Peetz: Work in Progress

Pence Gallery 212 D Street, Davis

PENCE GALLERY. Artist Ronald Peetz has been a stalwart part of the regional art scene since the late 1960s. As an object maker and sculptor, he delights in incorporating puns, word play, and irreverent humor into his work. Starting with his concept, he chooses any one of the many media he employs, to best make his idea come to life. In so doing, his sculpture and mixed media pieces lean heavily towards social critique and parody, blended with a lighter touch of humor and surrealism.
