Students from seven disciplines — art, design, art history, music, theatre, creative writing and French — will be part of the annual Arts and Humanities Graduate Exhibition at UC Davis.
The exhibition at the Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art will include large multimedia installations, music listening posts, paintings, video, an outdoor sound installation, and performances and presentations from 33 students in the College of Letters and Science. It runs May 30 to June 17. An opening reception that will include performances will take place May 31, and other performances and presentations will take place throughout opening weekend.
The Keister and Allen Art Purchase Prize, given to an art studio student, will be announced opening night.
