Art in Bloom is the first collaboration with members of the Davis Flower Arrangers and the Pence Gallery, in which creative floral arrangements are paired with specific artworks on view at the Pence from March 13-15. On Friday, March 13, from 6-9 PM, enjoy meeting many of the participating floral designers and see the arrangements as they are at their freshest, as part of the city’s 2nd Friday ArtAbout reception. Visitors are welcome to enjoy a variety of arrangements that include traditional and unusual materials, and a variety of beautiful containers.

Participating floral designers include Janet Goehring, Joyce Hamaguchi, Elly Fairclough, MJ Kelly, Rhody Vallejo, Elisabetta Vivoda, Mike MacDonald, Stephanie DeGraff-Hunt, and Julie Haney. Each artist has chosen an artwork for inspiration, and will create a vibrant interpretation of pieces by exhibiting artists Manuel Fernando Rios, Barbara Prodaniuk, and artists from Assorted Flavors, our annual exhibit of artworks created by forty Pence members.
Founded in 1958, the Davis Flower Arrangers is a long-standing organization in Davis, dedicated to studying and instructing floral design techniques, including Ikebana. The group, celebrating its 67th season in 2025-26, promotes the public appreciation of floral art through workshops, demonstrations, and community events.

Forest Bathing Walks in Davis
2026-03-14 13:00 - 15:30 | Putah Creek
Come join Davis Forest School for a Forest Bathing walk led by Forest Mentor Connor Rosenblatt! There are two opportunities to join, both in Davis (exact location shared after registration):
-Sunday, February 22nd from 1:00-3:30pm
-Saturday, March 14th from 1:00-3:30pm
What is Forest Bathing?
Forest Bathing is a nature-based wellness practice inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku. In contrast to a hike, Forest Bathing is a gentle, mindful practice that emphasizes slowing down, awakening our senses, and connecting with nature (and ourselves) on a deeper level. During a Forest Bathing walk, you will be invited to use your senses to intimately explore the natural world in the presence of a supportive community of practitioners.
Scientific studies have documented numerous benefits of Forest Bathing, such as a decrease in anxiety, a decrease in stress, a decrease in blood pressure, and an overall improvement in immune system functioning. Regardless of prior experience, these walks are perfect for anyone interested in spending slow and intentional time in nature with a group.
Registration is $20 per person. This event is open to ages 13+.

Beetlejuice Jr
2026-03-14 14:00 - 16:00 | Davis Musical Theatre Co. (DMTC), 607 Pena Dr.
Beetlejuice Jr – March 14 through April 5, 2026
School Matinees: March 31, 2026; 9:15am and noon

It’s our show now, kid. The ghost-with-the-most comes to the stage in Beetlejuice JR., the frightfully funny musical based on the beloved motion picture turned Broadway phenomenon. Lydia Deetz is a strange and unusual teenager, still grieving the loss of her mother and obsessed with the whole “being dead thing.” Lucky for Lydia, she and her father move to a new house haunted by a recently deceased couple and Beetlejuice, a delightful demon with a real zest for life. When Lydia calls on Beetlejuice to scare away anyone with a pulse, this double-crossing specter shows his true stripes, unleashing a (Nether)world of pandemonium.
Recommended for ages 10 & up

Residue of Ritual Opening Reception at The Barn Gallery
2026-03-14 15:00 - 18:00 | The Barn Gallery, 512 Gibson Road, Woodland, CA, United States
The Barn Gallery’s upcoming exhibition Residue of Ritual: an exhibition of the discarded is a two-person show featuring works by artists Tana Quincy Arcega and Michael Ryan. The exhibition opens with a reception from 3 – 6 p.m. on Saturday, March 14 with local wine and light refreshments. The Gibson House will also be open to the public during the event.
In Residue of Ritual, Quincy Arcega and Ryan curate a spectacle of objects and images culled from the endless deposits of residual materials resulting from our accelerated growth economy. Their visual commentary angles on the cultural mindset of mass production and waste as well as the vast array of ritualistic systems and customs that produce them.
Both artists share a visual language based in realism that journeys toward abstraction through mimicry, utilizing traditional art media and building materials to accomplish this end. With a fascination for textures, the artists bring to light the hidden materials that pervade our landscapes, from plastic packaging to fashion waste.
Residue of Ritual is on view at The Barn Gallery March 14 through May 23, 2026. Regular open hours of The Barn Gallery are Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 12-5 p.m. and Saturdays from 12-3 p.m.
The Barn Gallery and the Gibson House are located at 512 Gibson Road in Woodland. For more information, visit www.yoloarts.org, or contact ya@yoloarts.org or 530-309-6464.

Davis High School Presents Urinetown—The Musical!
2026-03-14 19:00 - 21:00, 2026-03-15 14:00 - 16:00 | Richard Brunelle Performance Hall, 315 W 14th Street, Davis, CA, 95616, United States
Urinetown: The Musical
Set in a grim, Gotham-like city ravaged by a 20-year drought, Urinetown imagines a world where private toilets are outlawed. Citizens must pay to use public restrooms, all controlled by a single, corrupt corporation that profits off one of humanity’s most basic needs. When an unlikely hero decides he’s had enough, a rebellion is born—one that challenges authority, exposes hypocrisy, and asks what freedom really costs.
Hilariously funny and touchingly human, Urinetown reexamines the very notion of what a musical can be, proving that even in the darkest circumstances, revolution can begin with a laugh—or a pee.
Location
Brunelle Theater @ 315 W 14th Street.
Performances
Friday March 6, Saturday March 7, Friday March 13, Saturday March 14 @7:00PM
Sunday March 8 and Sunday March 15 @2:00PM
