About Our Organization

We believe that all children in California should have access to an Arts education that develops essential life skills.

Through artistic practice at the Davis Arts Center, students will develop a strong work ethic and a respect for materials, process, and subject. Students will be part of a creative community that celebrates the power and reward of close examination of our world, a willingness to engage in self-discovery, flexibility in the face of challenges, and a sense of joy in achievement.

Classes & Camps

Davis Arts Center offers a diverse array of engaging classes to nurture creativity and artistic expression in the community.
