UC Davis’ TANA community art center will hold its winter quarter silkscreen printing workshop series from Jan. 19 to March 18. People interested in enrolling are asked to attend an introductory demonstration from 4 to 6 p.m. this Wednesday (Jan. 18).

TANA — which stands for Taller Arte del Amanacer (Art Workshop of the New Dawn) — offers the free workshop series quarterly for ages 13 and up, encouraging the exploration and representation of culture. Workshops are held four days a week: 3 to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and 4 to 11 p.m. Saturday. Participants are asked to try to come in a minimum of two days a week, for a total of at least four hours weekly.

For the demonstration, TANA co-founder and master printmaker Malaquias Montoya will produce a multicolored silkscreen print. He is a professor emeritus in the Department of Chicana/o Studies, which runs TANA.

The art center is at 1224 Lemen Ave. in Woodland.
