The Art & Ag Project cultivates a dialogue between artists, farmers, and the community to raise awareness of the importance of preserving working landscapes, to promote sustainable agriculture and the visual arts in Yolo County.

The Art & Ag Project builds alliances among artists and farmers of Yolo County through our "Artist to Farm Visits" monthly program in which farmers allow artists access to a variety of agricultural landscapes. In turn, this experience is artistically rendered to show the broader community what a unique landscape we inhabit and share, to bring forth pride and develop a sense of place.

The Project is celebrated each year with the Art Farm Exhibition Gala which features an Art Harvest and a Taste of Yolo - bringing the best of Yolo County's creativity, farm and wine harvest.

YoloArts' Art & Ag Project is a partnership project with the Yolo Land Trust and The Davis Farmers Market Foundation and is funded by:

ART AND AG IN THE CLASSROOM  

Through the support of the Davis Farmer's Market Foundation's "Farm to School" program, second grade classes from Davis Public Schools visit a farm for a day. Artists from the Art & Ag Project worked with these classes to create artwork inspired by their farm visits. Our goal is to expand this program to include schools in Winters and West Sacramento.

This project is funded by a grant from the James Irvine Foundation and ArtPlace.
