“Through the Eyes of a Child” is a comprehensive STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) program that provides children an opportunity to investigate and document the nature they see around them. The program aims to inspire youth to get outside more, discover their natural world and take digital photos of their discoveries using a cellphone, tablet or camera.

Orange County artists exhibit at Festival of Arts Fine Art Show

Robert G. Mull 3 weeks ago

Festival of Arts organizers were unsure if the summer festivals would be able to return this year until a matter of months ago.

Without question, those involved are ecstatic to be back, even if it meant that the work that usually takes place over the course of a year had to be completed in significantly less time.

The move reduces crowd capacity, per COVID-19 protocol, and increases access to the museum’s galleries and collections for patrons inside and outside the greater Sacramento region.

Each collection celebrates a section of UC Davis’s history or identity, a mix of photography, painting, sculpture, print, and text. Artists and presenters provide description, analysis and critique through videos on the museum’s online
