Exhibitions

Juana Valdés' multi-disciplinary practice combines printmaking, photography, sculpture, performance, and ceramic. Valdes' artwork examines the post-colonial history of the Americas and the current representation of Latinos, Caribbean citizens, Blacks or what constitute "Other" in mainstream America.

We Grow Accustomed to the Dark is an exhibition which investigates the role of identity in the current political climate by probing the connection between poetry and visual art. 11 visual artists and 4 poets come together as part of the 6^th Annual Amherst Poetry Festival and draw on deeply rooted personal experiences to address the complexities of identity politics, class, gender, education, and (de)industrialization.

The UMCA, along with the Department of Architecture, have partnered with the Town of Amherst to build an art and culture bridge to activate the North Pleasant Street corridor and connect downtown to campus.
