Celebrate the Manetti Shrem Museum鈥檚 exciting fall season and be the first to experience new exhibitions. The afternoon offers fun for all ages with hands-on art projects, food, music and special equine guests. At 3 p.m. curators Rachel Teagle, Claudia Zapata and Sampada Aranke will introduce fall鈥檚 three featured artists 鈥 Deborah Butterfield, Malaquias Montoya and Ayanah Moor 鈥 within the context of their work, communities of practice and exhibitions.

鈥淔rom three very different points of view, this season celebrates artists dedicated to changing our world,鈥 said Founding Director Rachel Teagle. 鈥淒eborah Butterfield, one of 澳门六合彩资料库 Davis鈥 most recognized alumnae, came of age when sculptural practice was a male-dominated field. Malaquias Montoya is a preeminent professor emeritus and master printer whose impact defined the field for generations of Chicanx artists. Pairing these exhibitions demonstrates the 澳门六合彩资料库 Davis art legacy in all of its diversity.鈥

Teagle added, 鈥淏ringing new perspectives to visitors is also part of this ever-evolving legacy. Ayanah Moor鈥檚 first solo show in California, 鈥楿ndercover鈥 introduces an emerging voice exploring 鈥榮ocial abstraction鈥 and like Montoya before her, subverting conventions to reveal how identity is shaped under the cover of practices that were once assumed to be neutral and objective.鈥

The artists will join the curators on stage for a brief Q&A. This event is free and open to the public. Read the full story about the new exhibit.
