Event Date
In celebration of the museum’s 10th anniversary year, we’re welcoming back Gong, an interactive sculpture by first-generation faculty artist William T. Wiley.
Stop by at 1 p.m. on Picnic Day for a special ceremonial sounding as Chancellor Gary May rings Gong for the first time. He’ll be joined by special student Gong sounders:
Trinh Vo, chair of Picnic Day 112
- Haleigh Jones, museum Student Advisory Board member
- Savannah Anno and Lance Luangvala, Visitor Services Team students
Throughout the day, cool off in our galleries, enjoy a self-guided gallery activity, and experience works by more than 80 artists from UC Davis’ storied Fine Arts Collection and experimental sculptures by Oakland-based artist Sahar Khoury in Weights & Measures.
It’s also the final weeks of Backstory: Digitizing the Museum Collection. Meet museum staff who work in the Digitization Lab within the exhibition and learn about our efforts to preserve the collection and make it accessible.
