Featured Program

The Art of Regional Change (ARC)
The ART OF REGIONAL CHANGE brings together scholars, students, artists and community members to collaborate on projects that aim to change the culture of the academy and amplify the voices of underrepresented groups in dialogues on policy, development, and regional sustainability.
We do this by:

  • Creating community-based media arts projects that explore contemporary history, life and culture.
  • Supporting scholarship, creative work, and civic engagement that further the public roles of the arts, humanities, and social sciences.
  • Building the capacity of faculty, students, and community partners to collaborate on projects that generate outcomes that have an impact in university and community settings.

ARC seeks to engage the arts and humanities with the social and environmental sciences to explore and re-envision regional identities and sustainability. The initiative is a collaborative venture of the Davis Humanities Institute and the Center for Regional Change. ARC provides resources for diverse constituents of particular regions to tell and share stories about their engagement with economic, social and environmental changes in their communities.

One of ARC's current projects is "Passion for the Land", in which ranchers, Cooperative Extension agents, media artists, and university scholars collaborate to produce and present digital stories on current challenges to agricultural viability and rural community life in the Sierra Valley.  Another is "Youth Voices for Change", in which urban youth partner with university artists, humanists, and social scientists to document the neighborhood conditions in West Sacramento that affect their lives.
