UVA houses five main galleries that rotate five times a year. They are the Hallie Brown Ford Gallery, Corridor Gallery, Red Door Gallery, Gallery II, Student Gallery, and our Gift Shop. Exhibits range from larger group exhibits that take place across multiple galleries, to multiple smaller and more intimate solo/group exhibitions centered on specific themes and explore both contemporary and traditional artworks/mediums. We welcome you to read more about the works currently on display and to visit us during our open hours of Tuesday-Friday, 10am-5pm and Saturdays 10am-3pm (With special hours from 10am-7pm every Third Thursday).
BIOLOGY RISING: ORIGINS OF HOPE
A solo exhibit of installation pieces by Julie Anderson Bailey
Umpqua Valley Arts is proud to present Biology Rising: The Origins of Hope, a solo exhibit of installation pieces and other works by Julie Anderson Bailey exploring the vestiges of botanicals and bioluminescence woven through nature to illustration how biology relates to humanity’s fragility and our interdependence to the earth.
Featured works will include traditional printmaking and fiber sculptural techniques in new ways including monotypes on sheer fabric and paper, twisted wire, branches, twine, cane and paper pulp.
Alongside Biology Rising: The Origins of Hope, this exhibit will feature four other exhibits.
Alongside Biology Rising: Origins of Hope, we are proud to present four other amazing exhibits. In the Corridor Gallery, we have a solo exhibit of works by Shawn Edrington called Unwraveling Taxon featuring different printmaking mediums. These prints are an investigation into the relationship between humanity and insects. In Gallery II, we have another solo show by Tyler Brumfield called Single Use Landscapes, which includes photography that addresses the representation of land in Western photography, climate disasters, and the effects of single use plastics on the ecosystem. We also have Malleable, a show about soft sculpture, in Red Door Gallery and Youth Pride, an exhibit of works created by young artists during Youth Pride Group, an after school opportunity hosted by UVA in partnership with Douglast County ESD.
