The Pence Gallery will be hosting a wine and painting fundraiser to benefit Make It Happen for Yolo County on April 6.

Local residents are invited to Sip and Paint to enjoy wine, beer and other beverages as they create a painting guided by Davis artists and teacher Joanne Andresen. Small bites will also be served. The event is scheduled to take place from 2:30 to 6 p.m.

Make It Happen for Yolo County is a local nonprofit that works with transition age youth ages 16-24 across Yolo County, many of whom have been in foster care or experienced homelessness. Funds raised will help the local nonprofit provide furniture, household goods, cleaning supplies and essential items needed to establish a first home.

“We are excited to bring the community together for this fun event that will ensure we can serve even more under-resourced transition age youth in Yolo County who are moving out on their own this year,” said Cathi Schmidt, executive director, Make It Happen for Yolo County. “We hope to meet new friends and raise awareness as we gather for an afternoon of wine and painting with the incomparable Joanne Andresen. Everyone will go home with a beautiful painting in hand and a warm heart knowing that they have invested in the future of this particularly vulnerable population that is often overlooked.”

Event sponsors include the Pence Gallery, Nugget Markets, Holly's Hill Vineyards and J. Lohr Vineyards and Wines.

Cost per ticket is $75, and tables of four are available for $300. Seating is limited. Tickets can be purchased at https:// www.mihyolo.org/.

“Pathways of Resistance: Women at the Turn of the 20th Century” at the Gibson House celebrates the advances made by women just in time to celebrate Women's History Month.

“Yolo County Historical Collection's exhibition `Pathways of Resistance' explores how women utilized increased access to education, voting rights and freedom from restrictive clothing to seek out new opportunities, establish a new place in the world and make their voices heard,” said a press release from YoloArts.

“Pathways of Resistance” is showing now at the Gibson House and will continue through June 1.
