In a time where conditions continue to change, we are thrilled that artists throughout our worldwide community continue to interpret their experiences and share ideas through the universal language of art.

While opportunities to be together in-person have been limited, we are surrounded by exciting and emerging platforms that allow us to still connect. Over 180 artists answered our call to share art focused on how artists are, “Exploring Opportunities.” Whatever your experience, wherever you are during this unprecedented time, we hope that you remember you are not alone.

Through this striking collection of original images, sculpture, and video, please explore the perspective, inspiration, struggle, and personal journeys of other people.

If something speaks to you, please share a comment, story, artwork on the UCPLA social media platforms.

If you are interested in purchasing artwork, reach out to us through [email protected]. UCPLA can support sales for the artists represented by the UCPLA Washington Reid Gallery and we can connect our guest artists with interested collectors.

202 is NOT simply the year of COVID-19; it is a year that should be remembered for ingenuity, resilience, and the triumph of personal expression.
