Happy 30th Birthday, Eggheads!
Celebrate Year of the Eggheads at the library with performances, pop-up displays, coloring activities
2024 is the Year of the Eggheads — a celebration of the 30th anniversary of the completion of Robert Arneson’s Egghead Series at UC Davis. We are egg-cited to take part in campus festivities recognizing these iconic sculptures, and the yearlong party officially hatches today! Join us for these events and activities at Bookhead and Shields Library:
April 4, 6-8 p.m. Jazz Ensemble and Poetry Performance, Ceremonial Lighting
Head over to Bookhead in front of Shields Library for a live student jazz ensemble performance by the Music Department and Egghead-inspired poetry by select MFA students from the creative writing program. Then enjoy a ceremonial lighting of the Eggheads at Bookhead and Eye on Mrak (Fatal Laff).
Ongoing at Shields Library
