Art Spark
Saturdays, 1-4 PM
Starting January 10, 2026
Drop by the museum’s Carol and Gerry Parker Art Studio this winter for an afternoon of art making inspired by works on view in the museum. Each month, we offer a different activity that explores ideas, materials and processes connected to current exhibitions.
January: Printed Drawings
Turn drawings into monoprints influenced by works on paper in the exhibitions Inspired Impressions and Backstory: Digitizing the Museum Collection.
February: Found Object Impressions
What intriguing items can you find in Sahar Khoury: Weights & Measures? Collect found objects in the studio and use a temporary stamp to capture textures and reassemble them into an original pattern.
March: Spinning Spiral Sculptures
Create a sculpture with found objects on a spiral wire base that twirls, inspired by The Elephant in the Room and other works in Sahar Khoury: Weights & Measures.
Special event:
Art Spark + Creative Repair
March 14, 1-4 PM
In addition to creating found object sculptures in the studio, find more inspiration for repairing and upcycling from Aggie Reuse Store, a student-run unit under ASUCD that serves as a zero-cost source for secondhand clothes, school supplies, small appliances, and countless priceless treasures that have been donated by the UC Davis community.
Stay tuned for more activities this spring, April through June.
All ages and skill levels are welcome! Making art is for everyone. All activity supplies provided.
