Manetti Shrem Museum: Together Again, 1960–2026, Perspectives from UC Davis’ Fine Arts Collection

About this event

Together Again inaugurates the Manetti Shrem Museum’s ongoing collection galleries. This exhibition highlighting the collection will be on long-term view, accompanied by temporary exhibitions each fall and winter.

The ongoing collection galleries trace a history of art forged from UC Davis and throughout Northern California. By focusing on relationships of many kinds, this presentation proposes that in order to understand an artwork in all its fullness, chance encounters and long-standing friendships often matter as much as formal affiliations. UC Davis legends such as Wayne Thiebaud, Deborah Butterfield and Bruce Nauman are exhibited alongside important regional voices that were once overlooked, and the exhibition extends to the artists shaping Northern California today, including Sadie Barnette, Woody De Othello and Ruby Neri. Together Again builds bridges between who we were and who we are becoming at UC Davis, and affirms the Manetti Shrem Museum as home to the complex story of Northern California art — rich in legacy and always in the process of becoming.

The collection will be open Wednesdays to Sundays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The location is the Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art at UC Davis. Admission is free.
