Welcome to UMUC Events and Arts!
For nearly three decades, UMUC has been cultivating and growing two impressive, permanent art collections: The Maryland Artist Collection and the Asian Collection, on display at the UMUC Inn and Conference Center. We invite you to attend these ongoing exhibits to experience one of the largest collections of art by Maryland artists and to see up close the artistic wonders brought from the Far East.
In addition to viewing the permanent collections, there are numerous other ways for you to appreciate the arts at UMUC. You can attend art openings and featured exhibits, receive the Art@UMUC newsletter, hear from special guests, and become a friend through the Friends of the Arts program.
Visit this site often to keep informed of current and upcoming events. We hope that you will join us throughout the year and for years to come.
