"WOODLAND — University of California, Davis, faculty and students, local residents and government officials gathered today to celebrate the opening of a community art center dedicated to inspiring local youth and reinforcing culture through silk-screening, mural painting and other classes.

The TANA center, conceived and operated by the UC Davis Department of Chicana/o Studies, represents the culmination of a six-year quest to establish the type of community art workshop that existed in many urban settings decades ago. TANA stands for Taller Arte del Nuevo Amanecer, or Art Workshops of the New Dawn."
