Welcome to Art In Your Inbox - a new email from UMMA staff, where we'll share images from our collection we've been thinking about recently.
Whether it's providing perspective or prompting moments of peace and reflection, art has an incredible way of helping us understand our experiences. UMMA staff have been sharing images from our collection back and forth during the last few weeks of these unprecedented times, and we've found it both comforting and contemplative. Because UMMA (and most museums) are closed to the public while the world battles COVID-19, we wanted to start sharing those thoughts and images with all of you as well, in an effort to keep our community connected and art integrated into our lives.
We're thinking we'll share new images a couple of times a week, when the mood strikes us and a piece speaks to the moment. We'll try to include some additional reflection prompts to help you spend time with the art, and maybe a creative project inspired by the work as well.
If you like it, we encourage you to share these emails with your friends and family; and let us know about the art in your life that's inspiring you. And, of course, if you don't want to receive Art In Your Inbox, you can always adjust your preferences and select only the types of emails you would like to receive from us.
Wishing you the best,
Your friends at UMMA
