Off campus, Taller Arte del Nuevo Amanecer, or TANA, has two new exhibitions opening over the next two weeks.
On campus, a student exhibition combining entomology and design will be presented Wednesday night (June 6). The Arts and Humanities Graduate Exhibition and three other art shows are still open — but you have only until around mid-month to see them.
The TANA exhibitions join one other UC Davis exhibition off campus: Notebooks of a Body, works by first-year Master of Fine Arts students, running through Aug. 12 in Sacramento.
For all exhibitions, admission is free and open to the public.
