RUMINANT GROUND

UC DAVIS FIRST YEAR MFA SHOW

May 3 – May 26, 2016

This May, Beatnik Studios presents eight artists currently enrolled in the Art Studio MFA program at UC Davis. The featured artists include Henry Bell, Yuan Chen, Mike Cole, Benjamin Ehrmann, Vincent Pachecho, Arielle Rebek, Muzi Rowe and Faith Sponsler.

The Art Studio MFA Program at UC Davis is a two-year, critically engaged studio program that provides an opportunity for interdisciplinary study in the visual arts. As part of a small tight-knit community, students explore a wide range of media and approaches to studio practice. Each year the 1st year candidates have an exhibition to feature their work going forward towards thesis. The class of 2017 embodies a broad range of approaches to contemporary art practice.

“Ruminant Ground” will be on view May 3 through May 26, 2016, with an opening reception on First Friday, May 6 from 6 – 9 pm. Beatnik Studios is located at 723 S Street in Sacramento’s historic industrial district. The gallery is open 10:00 am to 5:00 pm on Tuesday, 11:30 am to 5:00 pm Wednesday and Thursday and by appointment. (916) 400-4281.
