    2023 exhibition (whole room was built and they installed this sculpture above me inside)
    Bridgétt R.

    INTERESTING! As an Art History major, I always nerd out on galleries and art-related places. I enjoy the welcoming sculptures on the outside. The gallery entrance is the store wherein you can buy books/small works of art as unique convenient gifts. The price point is a bit high but there are fun postcards and small knicknacks too. The owner saw me needing to charge my phone and graciously offered me a place to charge up. He is high energy and direct when speaking to people. My kid loves to go up the elevator and or walk up the stairs to see the myriad of paintings filling up the walls! It's quite a fun experience. If you want to go on a quick date, this is a cute place for you and your loved one(s) to stop by. They used to have poetry night which I hope they bring back. They now offer some kids programming which I appreciate! BONUS: The rooftop is a great private place to chat with friends in moderate weather!!

    Beautiful Mid-Size Art Gallery Set-Up In Downtown Davis SETUP John Natsoulas Gallery is Located on the corner of 1st & F Streets in Downtown Davis, and it is part of a long line of houses that I knew (and looks like still is to) the "Fraternity Row" that was in my hood when I was in graduate school there. But now this art gallery - and it's partner Pachamama Davis Coffee Cooperative - is part of a bigger & expanded complex taking over a larger part of this block. SPACE CONFIGURATION The beautiful John Natsoulas Gallery has quite the layout that I got to enjoy recently while at a Holiday Party - I got to see the entire layout of the building structure which included the following: = The street-level where though the 1st Street entrance their partner Pachamama Davis Coffee Cooperative is located and they take over about half of the ground floor = The back part of the ground floor where the Art Gallery begins and there is another entrance along F Street = The second level where art, tables & balcony space co-exist in a dynamic hybrid joint-use format - ideal for study groups. = The large open air 3rd level floor which leads up to the lovely rooftop balcony. A lot of usable space for both students chilling with some coffee while studying, and for patrons moving from level to level to take in the art. THE ART The art is quite beautiful and they feature a lot of different mediums, though what I noted the most were the sculptures and the large paintings. Though preference is directed to highlight the works of local and regional artists, it has featured artists of national note. EVENT SPACE Because of the beautiful and lush surroundings, the gallery works perfectly as an event-space for meetings even for a wedding that was held here. So there is a lot of ways to enjoy this gallery. THE LOWDOWN An energetic & dynamic art gallery that may be utilized for a lot of beautiful and exciting purposes.

    I learned about the grand opening of the John Natsoulas Gallery from Yelp's UYE event posting. This grand opening exhibit presented a collection of various artists representations of California's landscapes and the outdoors. The venue is pretty easy to find as it is on 1st Street in Davis, which is the main thoroughfare most people drive on when arriving from the highway. The gallery is located in a large 3 - story house with a tower which has a 4th floor. There is artwork on each floor. The primary media was oil or water color on canvas, however the 3rd floor had plenty of 3-dimensional sculptures. Wine was served in the reception area for all who attended the grand opening. I sipped a Cabernet Sauv while I read through and studied every piece. It took me nearly 2 hours to go through the entire exhibit, but I read and study everything. I take a long time because I do not want to miss a thing. To me this exhibit displayed how several different artists depict California in all her beauty. I was completely enamored. My absolute favorite artist in this exhibit is Richard B. Morall. And my favorite painting by him are Olivehurst Castle, Elements, and Aguascalientes. I was pissed. I wanted to buy one of his paintings. But I would have to sell a lung to afford it. The 3rd floor had several 3-dimensional art pieces. I really enjoyed artist Amber Aguirre's dog series...they were hot! With that said, I found it comical when I heard an elderly group of women discussing the ludicrous sexuality depicted in her pieces I, on the other hand, fucking loved it. If you come to visit Davis the John Natsoulas Gallery is a must. This would be a great place to go for a dinner - museum - then coffee date.

    Even before entering the gallery I was impressed. A giant, multi-colored metal statue stands on the street in front of the entrance to the downstairs Pachamama coffee shop and is unavoidable when entering Davis. Venture inside, grab a coffee and then peruse their shop - all before entering the gallery. Unless you detest art in any form, you'll be impressed once inside. It's three levels of modern, open and clean white space adorned with an evolving selection of artworks from both local and more national artists. It's great for an event, and that's exactly why I decided to throw an event there. If you are visiting for the first time, I suggest going Thursday evenings when they usually have some live music and folks to greet you. You'll wonder why you didn't visit long beforehand.

    April 27 and 28 CCACA exhibits were amazing. Found a ceramic artist, Dan Del Bino, that has a twist on glaze and is taking his technique to new extremes. Interesting guy to talk with too. stop by the exhibit in the log cabin across from the gallery to see his work.

    A great place to play Bingo. I mean it, after yesterday's game I am hooked! Bingo is played here…read moreevery second Sunday, and each time it benefits a different charity. I paid $12 for one packet of Bingo games, and had fun playing with some friends for about three hours total. Next month I want to come again! Remember to bring cash to purchase bingo games, extra games, and to purchase drinkies and snacks from the snack bar. There were nachos, hot dogs, and chips available yesterday. Beer, wine, and soda were available drinkies. They also had free water and coffee provided. If you don't have your own dobber for Bingo they provide free rentals, but you can also buy one for $1 in cash. They also have raffles included with your Bingo packet, so hang on to that ticket. I won a bottle of Sobon Cab Sauv in one of the raffle drawings yesterday! :-) They have bathrooms downstairs and upstairs too, and though it does get busy we were easily able to find five seats together. Of course, two of us did show up early. For next time I will remember to again arrive early and bring cash for this cash only event. If you have never played legit Bingo before, they are patient and helpful. It is beginner friendly with many helpers available and walking around the room. Highly recommend! Yay Bingo! Outside food is fine. Street parking.

    I've been going to Odd Fellows Hall for over a year now for various purposes. While I am usually in…read morethe upstairs room, I have also been to the downstairs meeting space. Ultimately, I think this is an awesome resource in our community! I love that various groups and communities are able to rent out the space for whatever the need. I also love all of the community events that they put on. From Bingo to movie nights, I love the effort they are putting into creating an awesome community space. The building itself is a bit out dated, but it is well maintained.

We stopped by because we had will call tickets for the garden tour. The lady at the front desk was very friendly and welcoming. She gave us a little goodie bag which we appreciated. The place was clean and organize, it was also serene and relaxing. As for the garden tour event, the description on the Pence Gallery website said there would be 7-10 gardens. Sadly, there were only FIVE + a stop at the gallery, and it literally took us less than two hours to do the whole tour. We definitely would have planned our morning differently had we known there were only five gardens. Hoping they offer more gardens next year! Other than that, we had a good experience at Pence Gallery and their garden tour event.
