WELCOME
We are excited to present a robust fall catalog to our community full of opportunities
to engage in the arts! As I am reading through the final proof, I realize a theme for our
fall catalog could be partnerships.
Davis Arts Center has always had a partnership with the artist community and we are
expanding that partnership by hosting the DAVIS ART STUDIO TOUR.
Taking place on October 15-16, tour goers can visit the studios of more than 30 local
artists and interact with the artists on a personal level. Davis Arts Center will sell
tickets for $10 beginning September 1.
A partnership with the City of Davis and our community: 100 FOR 100 NATURAL
HISTORY PROJECT celebrates the centennial of the City of Davis. The catalog’s
centerfold is dedicated to a step-by-step guide of how to participate in this
community based, city-wide project. We also have a special opportunity for materials
and lesson plans for teachers, funded by the Davis School Arts Foundation. Primary
funding of the project has been provided by a 2016 City of Davis Civic Arts Grant.
Davis Arts Center is embarking on a new partnership with THE SCHOOL OF THE
SACRAMENTO BALLET. The School of the Sacramento Ballet will be teaching their
Children’s Division (Ages 18 months to 9 years) at Davis Arts Center. This residency
program is an exciting way to bring new artists to our community and a model on
which we hope to expand.
Many COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND ORGANIZATIONS have supported us through our
56 year history and for your ongoing support, I thank you. Next year is the 30th
birthday of our building and we are looking forward to celebrating with the
community. Over the last 3 decades, this building has welcomed hundreds of
thousands of people and has encouraged and nurtured a lifelong passion of the arts.
If you have visited us in the last few months, you have noticed that our restrooms
underwent their first remodel since 1987. I want to thank and acknowledge this
donation and project management support from the Tandem Properties Partners (Bill
and Nancy Roe, John and Judy Whitcombe, and Paul and Diane Makley). Additionally,
donations from the Big Day of Giving and facility rental revenue (thank you to those of
you who rent our facility for parties, milestones and fundraising events) have enabled
us to replace 4 original heating and air conditioning units.
Our teachers, students, staff and Board all thank you for supporting Davis Arts Center.
We look forward to strengthening existing PARTNERSHIPS and as well as developing
future ones.

Keats called autumn the season of “mellow
fruitfulness”. Tap into that quieter energy this
fall at Writing Salon, a casual, supportive space
that welcomes writers of all ages, experience

poetry, memoir, drama, or some hybrid thereof.
Every week we’ll share pages and comment
constructively on each other’s work. You’re invited
to bring up to five double-spaced pages of your
own writing to the first class.

offer many possibilities for making numerous
different items (such as pillows, bags, place
mats and scarves) while becoming familiar with

ARTISTS- DREAMSCAPES (AGES 6-12)
We never know what mysterious things will turn
up in our dreams, anything from a talking tree to a
castle in the air! In this beginning drawing/painting
class young artists will learn some unique painting
techniques to create dreamlike effects for clouds
and backgrounds using watercolor, acrylics, pastel
and color pencil. Then we will let nature spark our

PAINTING/DRAWING FOR YOUNG
ARTISTS-MYSTERIOUS CREATURES
(AGES 6-12)
“I know how to knit, but I can only knit scarves”. If
this describes you, come take this class. If you can
knit and purl...you can knit socks. Knowing how
to knit in the round is helpful, but will be taught if
necessary. (Price includes a $15 materials fee).
Spend an 8-hour day in the weaving studio to
explore whether weaving is something you
like to do (if you are new to it) or to work on a
larger project or multiple projects (if you are
an experienced weaver). Here’s a wonderful
opportunity to make some holiday gifts. The
workshop is intended primarily for adults for
whom the weekly class schedule is not practical.
Another option is for parents to take the workshop
with their children, provided the children have
previously taken weaving classes. (Price includes a
$50 materials fee).
A hummingbird butterfly and a flying tiger are just
a few of the possible mysterious creatures that
young artists can create in this beginning class.
Lessons will be guided drawings of fanciful wings,
delicate feathers, animals, and other creative
details as well as basic watercolor techniques. Then
each student will design, draw, paint, name, and
tell the story of their unique creature. We will have
a special Halloween adventure on October 31st and
students are encouraged to wear a costume! (Price

PRACTICAL YOGA & SKILLS FOR A
FULFILLED LIFE (AGES 13-99+)
TEACH ANOTHER LANGUAGE TO KIDS
Discover how the ancient practice of Yoga can
improve your overall wellbeing. In this integrative
approach to yoga, we will incorporate deep relaxation
and breathing techniques (pranayama); chanting
and meditation; and a flowing sequence of bodily
postures (asanas) that strengthen and tone, improve
flexibility and massage internal organs. Learn basic
asanas and proper alignment as you develop body
awareness and a deeper mind-body connection.
All levels welcome! The class will end with a guided
meditation and 15-minute discussion of a life skill,
topics changing each week, incorporating teachings
from ancient scriptures from across the globe.

CREATE A SUPPLE SPINE THE
FELDENKRAIS® WAY (AGES 18-99+)
Minimum class size is 6, maximum is 10. Classes
may be cancelled or combined due to low
enrollment. Classes generally follow the Davis Joint
Unified School District calendar (as well as the
Saint James calendar for ASL at that site), and do
not meet on school holidays.
Whether turning, twisting or bending forward and
back, it’s great to have your entire spine free to
move. Learning to sense and use your spine leads
to improved posture and greater comfort whether
sitting, standing or walking.

VOICE AND POISE (AGES 13-99+)
Davis Arts Center/North Davis Elementary:
Staff, [email protected]
Coordinated breathing is as easy as poised stature
and an easy exhalation prompting a full and easy
inhalation. If your breathing involves sucking air in
and pushing air out, you are creating a tight chest, a
restricted airway and an anxiety response. You will
learn to improve your voice in speaking or singing
and minimize the negative aspects of excess tension.

Registration
Procedures
You may register for Davis Arts Center classes in
the following ways:
1.
Register in person at 1919 F Street.
2. Register online at davisartscenter.org/
education.
3. Mail a completed registration form (found on
the back of this catalog) to Davis Arts Center,
PO Box 4340, Davis CA 95617.
4. Fax the completed registration form with
credit card information to (530) 756-3041.
5. Call (530) 756-4100 to register by telephone. We
accept most credit cards, including Discover,
MasterCard, Visa and American Express.
All registrations are considered confirmed when
payment is received. You will not receive further
confirmation. Therefore, it is your responsibility
to record all personal registration information to
ensure attendance on the correct date and time.
You will be notified by phone or by email if a
class for which you have registered is postponed
or cancelled.
Registration Policies
Late Fees
Davis Arts Center fees are due in full at the time
of registration. Students may not participate
unless all fees have been paid. Instructors cannot
be paid if fees are outstanding, so please be
courteous to your instructor and to Davis Arts
Center staff by paying for classes at the start
of each session. A $5 administration fee will be
charged for each class registration received
more than 7 days after the first day of the class.
Cancellations
We urge you to register at least 1 week before
the beginning of a class session since minimum
enrollment must be met for classes to be held.
When enrollment is below the minimum 5 days
prior to the first day of class there is a strong
possibility that the class will be cancelled. We
will make every effort to contact registered
students in a timely manner if cancellation
occurs. If a class is cancelled by the instructor
registrants will receive a full refund.
Wait Lists
Once an instructor’s maximum enrollment is
reached, names will be placed on a wait list and
students will be notified if an opening occurs.
Contact the Davis Arts Center office to be added
to a wait list.
Refund Policy
All refunds due to student withdrawal are
subject to a $5.00 administration fee. Please
be certain that you are able to attend before
registering for a class. Notification of withdrawal
must be given at least 10 business days before
the start of the class.
Registrations are considered final 10 business
days before the first class, and no refunds will
be given after this time. Davis Arts Center does
not pro-rate fees. Exceptions to this policy may
be granted only in cases of documented family
or medical emergency (see front office staff).
Participation Policies
Davis Arts Center is not responsible for
unattended children on the premises. We do not
assume responsibility if your child is dropped
off early or picked up late. Please come into
the building to confirm that your child gets to
class. Davis Arts Center is responsible only for
registered students. Parents are responsible for
children brought onto the premises who are not
registered in our classes.
Membership
Davis Arts Center does not
discriminate on the basis of race,
color, national origin, gender, age, or
disability in admission to its programs,
events, and activities, including its
hiring and employment practices.
It is not necessary to be a member
of Davis Arts Center in order to
take classes; however, membership
provides a $10 discount on classes,
which will be applied upon
registration. (Note: discount may
not apply to individual classes or to
selected workshops.) A membership
form is included in this catalog for your
convenience.
Scholarships
A limited number of scholarships for classes
are available through the Davis Arts Center
Scholarship Fund. Awards are based on
demonstrated financial need. Residents of Davis
and nearby areas are eligible. Applications are

same family only once per year.
