Manetti Shrem Museum of Art

The Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art at UC Davis brings music and performance into its exhibitions and public programs. The museum hosts live musicians, open mics and events that combine visual art with music, food and other activities.

Art Jam is a recurring after-hours program where performances share the evening with art-making and opportunities for visitors to participate. The music varies from event to event, with the museum's galleries and public spaces providing a setting for different kinds of performances.

The museum also presents talks, exhibitions, workshops and collaborative programs involving artists and the university community. Its distinctive architecture includes a large covered outdoor area, allowing events to extend beyond the galleries and into the surrounding space.
