With support from the California Arts Council, YOLO COUNTY ARTS COUNCIL INC will support 420 students in grades 3-5 from rural Winters School District on field trips to Pence Gallery (Davis), Crocker Art Museum (Sacramento), and Mondavi Center (Davis). 3rd grade will visit Pence Gallery; 4th grade will visit Crocker Art Museum; 5th grade will attend a performance at Mondavi Center. To extend learning in school all grades will receive 2 sessions of arts instruction from a local teaching artist.
Our support and dedication to the arts in Yolo County has its foundation in projects reflecting the cultural make-up of the county as we work to connect artists, young people, students, art supporters, the community at large, and political and business stakeholders to our developing arts culture.
YoloArts promotes access to arts through our arts education programs in public schools around Yolo County, by operating two public art gallery, Gallery 625 and The Barn Gallery, sponsoring arts events and celebrations, working with local jurisdictions on community engagement and economic development through the arts, and providing professional development activities and opportunities for artists and the county-wide art community.
The Art & Ag Project remains a signature creative placemaking effort for us as it connects artists with Yolo County farms, and results in an arts showcase at our annual Art Farm Gala.
