Hello Friends!  

 

It's my pleasure to announce that Art of Regional Change's, Up from the UnderStory, will be premiering on Wednesday, March 9, 2011, at 7 p.m. on KVIE Channel 6. Up From the Understory is a television documentary lead by ARC's, jessikah maria ross, about an isolated rural community in the Sierra Nevada foothills that struggles to overcome social, economic, and environmental challenges after a century of mining and logging.  

 

You are invited to join rural residents and university scholars involved in the documentary project at a broadcast screening and reception on the UC Davis campus in 126 Voorhies Hall on March 9 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.  ARC is supported by the CRC and the Davis Humanities Institute. We hope you will tune in or join us!
