Art for Youth
Kids come into the renovated warehouse to claim a little space and some collective inspiration to work on a drawing, a silkscreen print or an art project of their choice at the UC Davis-run TANA youth art center. TANA stands for Taller Arte del Nuevo Amanecer, or Art Workshop of the New Dawn. Conceived and operated by the UC Davis Department of Chicana/o Studies, TANA is a throwback to community art workshops that existed in more urban settings decades ago to cultivate the cultural and artistic life of the community, while encouraging participants to seek higher education and self-determination.
