The You See art exhibit, featuring the works of UC Davis' pioneering art faculty, is on the road -- but the three surviving artists are as close as your television or computer screen.

Wayne Thiebaud, Manuel Neri and William T. Wiley participated in a Nov. 13 forum at the Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts, and that forum is available online and on UCTV.

The forum, titled "You See: The Early Years of the UC Davis Studio Art Faculty," is scheduled for presentation nine times from July 14 through 20 on UCTV. For dates and times, click here. For audio or video podcasts, go to the same website.

The Forum@MC took place amid the You See exhibition's premiere at the campus's Nelson Gallery. The National Endowment for the Arts provided a $60,000 grant for the exhibition, featuring works by Thiebaud, Neri, Wiley, and the late Robert Arneson and Roy De Forest.

The road show started in Moraga (May 3-June 22, Hearst Art Gallery, St. Mary's College), and from there the exhibit is headed to Bakersfield (Sept. 11-Nov. 20, California Bakersfield Museum of Art), Las Vegas (Jan. 20-Feb. 21, Donna Beam Fine Art Gallery, University of Nevada) and Pasadena (May 31-Aug. 9, Pasadena Museum of California Art).
