It’s been a long year, folks. The pandemic has had a huge impact on all of us—one of the things that has kept spirits high at UMMA is all of you. Thank you for being part of our community! We hope you’ve found a bit of solace in UMMA during these difficult times, whether you’ve enjoyed our reflection prompts and stories delivered through Art In Your Inbox, studying in the Apse study spaces, or enjoying our exhibitions online and on-site like Ibrahim Mahama’s tremendous installation In Between The World and Dreams. We love you!
This piece from Tracey Emin, on view in our Modern and Contemporary gallery, is a favorite on Instagram, where visitors pose for pictures next to it basking in the warm pink glow, sharing their love with the world.
Reflection Prompts:
- How do you share your love with the people and causes you care most about during the holiday season?
- What are you thankful for this year? A question we hear often this time of year but is perhaps especially poignant in 2020. Think about it–like, really think–and make a short list. Hang it somewhere so you can look at it often.
Today is Giving Tuesday, an international giving holiday to celebrate the causes and organizations you love. We hope you’ll consider supporting UMMA’s important work today, if it’s right for you and your budget during this time. Your donation will propel UMMA’s mission forward—providing opportunities to connect with art online and at the Museum. Gifts of all sizes are important and have true, meaningful impact.
