About the Exhibition 

It's a Process is open medium, open theme exhibition, that features artwork by UMES students, faculty and staff. This a campus wide, non-juried exhibition, open to everyone at University of Maryland Eastern Shore, who turn to the creative arts as a place of solace, inspiration, or as a life long practice or hobby.

The process of creating a work of visual art is so much more than the final product; it's in the making of it that we find balance and peace in our personal and collegiate lives. The artwork in It’s a Process varies from artist to artist in both theme and medium.

This exhibition highlights the what, why and how of the art making process from the kaleidoscope of experiences, practices and vision of the UMES family.
