GET INVOLVED

Advantages of Membership
Advantages of membership at the Pence Gallery include receipt of announcements for upcoming exhibitions (ten a year), Pence Events, the Gallery newsletter, and discounts on special events, tours and member's only day during the November Museum Market. Becoming a member of the Pence Gallery is a way to support the arts in your community.

Becoming a Docent
Docents are community members who donate four hours of their time so that the Pence Gallery's exhibitions of Northern California art are available to the public, free. A docent typically is scheduled one afternoon a month, and duties include opening and closing the Gallery and welcoming viewers.

The word docent comes from the Latin meaning "to teach," but most docents at the Pence regard the time spent with the art in the Gallery as a learning experience. By attending the artists' lectures and reading the material on the exhibiting artists at the Gallery, the docent is able to pass along insights into the exhibition to interested visitors.

Being a docent at the Pence Gallery is a pleasant and rewarding way of being involved in the Davis community and with the art world.

Board Membership
Board members help administrate the Gallery and oversee operations. Their terms are two years and can have two consecutive terms on a volunteer basis.

Friends of the Pence
Friends of the Pence are individuals who provide a variety of volunteer assistance to the Gallery through gifts in kind. Examples of such gifts include lending graphic design assistance for events or hosting an opening at the Gallery.
