Artist Talk with Ronald Peetz

Pence Gallery 212 D Street, Davis, CA, United States

Talking with Ronald Peetz is much like his work - fun & full of humor. Peetz’s conceptual pieces are anything but dry, as he uses materials such as baseballs, violin cases, & funerary headstones, to underline his political and social messages. Join him as he talks about his days as an art student in the 60s, inspired by artists such as Stephen Kaltenbach, William Wiley, & others. Ronald Peetz’s exhibit, titled Work in Progress, is on display at the Pence Gallery from February 11 - April 2, 2025. 1p - 2:30p. $10 Suggested Donation.
