The Pence Gallery in Davis has two new exhibitions opening in January for residents to enjoy.
"The Tiny Show," opening Jan. 6, will feature "tiny" works of art limited to 5" x 7" in size. Various local and regional artists will have their work on display including Valentina Arenas, Tamsen Armstrong, Karen Burns, Deziree Dizon, Jim Darke, and Amy Vidra, among others.
"We encourage you to explore every work of art and see what details you can discover," the Pence Gallery's website said. "While the works themselves may be small, the creativity and artistic talent they reveal is immeasurable."
"The Tiny Show" will run at the Pence Gallery through Feb. 26. A reception will be held on Jan. 13 from 6 to 9 p.m.
Then, on Jan. 7, "The Elusive Muse: New Work by Kelley Mogika" will open, showcasing Mogika's figurative paintings and drawings.
"By working from a model, she looks for this inspiration in the subtle gestures, glances, or poses, which often evoke a presence that is both timeless and ephemeral," the Pence's website said. "Her use of harmonious color and expressive brushwork ultimately reflects an interest in capturing the sitter's internal state of being."
Mogilka was recently the recipient of the Pence Gallery Emerging Artist Award 2022, sponsored by James R. & Suzette M. Smith.
A reception will also be held Jan. 13 from 6 to 9 p.m.
Center Stage is a column exploring the arts in and around Yolo County.
