Today, we honor the memory of Karim Abou Najm, unveiling of a new public art piece titled “Fiat Lux” (“let there be light” in Latin) at 4 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 22. Due to rain, the program will be held in the Willett Elementary Multi-purpose Room (1207 Sycamore Lane) and then attendees will process to the art piece for the unveiling in Sycamore Park. 

The installation of “Fiat Lux” was made possible by donations from Karim’s family, friends and Davis residents, a donation from the University of California, Davis and funds from the City of Davis Municipal Arts Fund.
