The California Studio: Manetti Shrem Artist Residencies at UC
Davis presents contemporary forms of practice and approaches to
studio art education. The program brings a group of visiting
artists to the Department of Art and Art History every year.
We, the faculty in Art
Studio, stand with our community of students, faculty,
staff, researchers and colleagues to uphold our commitment
to listen, learn and to take action against social
injustice. We pledge to act in solidarity with those
who seek to end racism and achieve equity and justice for
all.
The UC Davis Department of Art and Art History at UC Davis offers
a Bachelor of Arts in Art Studio with a broad range of studio
courses providing hands-on practice including painting,
sculpture, drawing, photography, ceramics, printmaking, and
time-based media.

Helia Pouyanfar (M.F.A., ‘22) has published a limited edition art
photography book titled Once, in passing. Images,
taken between the ages of 16 to 19 when the artist lived as
a refugee in Turkey, document Helia’s travels during mandatory
U.N. interviews, and check-points and borders. Her images
and prose investigate the permanently transient state of a
refugee body and its negotiation and reconciliation with place.
Alum Tavarus Blackmon (M.F.A., ‘18) and Manuel Fernando Rios
(M.F.A., ‘11) are partipating in the group show “Vibrant
Explorations” at Yolo Arts gallery The Barn.
Artnet’s Tim Schneider has
named professor emerita Lynn Hershman Leeson’s “Twisted Gravity”
one of the most boundary-pushing works at this year’s Art Basel.
