Pence Gallery unveils new exhibit

The Pence Gallery in Davis, California, will host a new exhibition titled “Worn” from January 9 to February 8, 2026, in its Learning Center Gallery. The show features works by local and regional artists that explore the relationship between clothing, fabric, identity, and memory. Curated by Katharine Schultz, the exhibition includes a range of media such as fiber art, painting, sculpture, and photography, with a standout piece by Yi-Chuan Chen titled “Souvenir 4,” made from the artist’s own hair. The gallery, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary, issued a public call for submissions in fall 2025 to encourage broad participation and accessibility.
