Location: Pence Gallery, 212 D Street, Davis, CA 95616
Admission: Admission to the Pence is free; we welcome donations from visitors, as they help us cover basic costs associated with running a nonprofit art gallery.
Art in Bloom is the first collaboration with members of the Davis Flower Arrangers and the Pence Gallery, in which creative floral arrangements are paired with specific artworks on view at the Pence from March 13-15. On Friday, March 13, from 6-9 PM, enjoy meeting many of the participating floral designers and see the arrangements as they are at their freshest, as part of the city’s 2nd Friday ArtAbout reception. Visitors are welcome to enjoy a variety of arrangements that include traditional and unusual materials, and a variety of beautiful containers. The connection between the artwork and floral design can include using similar colors, themes, textures, or overall composition.
Participating floral designers include Janet Goehring, Joyce Hamaguchi, Elly Fairclough, MJ Kelly, Rhody Vallejo, Elisabetta Vivoda, Mike MacDonald, Stephanie DeGraff-Hunt, and Julie Haney. Each artist has chosen an artwork for inspiration, and will create a vibrant interpretation of pieces by exhibiting artists Manuel Fernando Rios, Barbara Prodaniuk, and artists from Assorted Flavors, our annual exhibit of artworks created by forty Pence members.
Founded in 1958, the Davis Flower Arrangers is a long-standing organization in Davis, dedicated to studying and instructing floral design techniques, including Ikebana. The group, celebrating its 67th season in 2025-26, promotes the public appreciation of floral art through workshops, demonstrations, and community events.
