Current Exhibitions

Every year, UVA invites artists across the region and beyond to register for a special 5-day paint-out event where they go out into the landscapes of Douglas County where they battle the elements, push the boundaries of their artistic skills, and race against time to capture one fleeting moment. At the end of the event, artists return to UVA to submit their works for a special exhibition showcasing the results of their hard work. This year, our Umpqua Plein Air features 145 works created during the 5-day event. The works are then juried by a professional artist whom UVA invites to lend their eye and experience as a plein air artist. This year, UVA is honored to have Aimee Erickson jury the Umpqua Plein Air exhibition.
