The dusty halls of TB-9 became the birthplace of both the Funk and Figurative ceramics movements and was the main studio of Robert Arneson for over 30 years. “There was nothing, and so anything could happen. Arneson taught attitude, not style, and experimentation was encouraged.” The UC Davis Fine Art Department The UC Davis Masters of Fine Art Department maintained their prestigious status of top 2 in the nation, which produced some of the best artists and teachers in the United States. “I remember attending a meeting for the art department from the University of California system, and the first question was, they wanted everybody to define the philosophy of their department. Our philosophy was to not have a philosophy. If you wanted to work, it was marvelous. There was plenty of support. The creative support has been incredibly strong and so we got a lot accomplished.” -Robert Arneson
