We are proud to recognize and honor Linda Citron, the heart of Davis Arts Center’s Ceramics Open Studio Program! 🏺❤️

As head volunteer, Linda shares her deep knowledge, welcoming beginners and experienced artists alike with warmth and patience. She also creates structure behind the scenes, helping volunteers work together and keeping the studio thriving.

Most importantly, Linda has built a warm, welcoming community where people come not only to work with clay, but to connect and belong.

Davis Arts Center is deeply grateful for Linda’s dedication, leadership, and heart. The Ceramics Open Studio simply wouldn’t be what it is without her!
