A collage of several different artworks surrounds words in the middle of the graphic: "Seasons: Mid-Missouri Artists 2026." The top features a painting of a large red flower and small yellow flower with leaves; a painting of a Monarch butterfly; a piece of sheet music with several small 3D violins surrounding it; and a blue and light blue speckled painted leaf. On the bottom is an iridescent white crab standing on white sand; and two children's toys with light snow falling on them.

 

The University of Central Missouri (UCM) Gallery of Art and Design presents “Seasons,” the annual exhibition of artwork by the Mid-Missouri Artists Inc. This exhibition will be on display from June 15 to July 22 at the UCM Art Center.


Mid-Missouri Artists Inc. (MMA) is a regional arts organization that supports artists and promotes the arts. The members meet regularly to discuss art and the business of being an artist. They also exhibit together at least twice yearly, including the annual summer exhibition at the UCM Gallery of Art and Design. 


This year's exhibition theme is "Seasons,” with each artist interpreting it through a wide range of media, including painting, drawing, photography, mixed media, and sculpture. Visitors will see artwork by returning favorites, including Rebecca Limback and Brett Butler, as well as new faces such as Meagan Jacoby. “Seasons” will be in the Main Gallery.


The public is invited to a reception celebrating this exhibition from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 17, in the Art Center. The New Century Dulcimer Ensemble will play during the reception, and refreshments will be served. 


The UCM Gallery of Art and Design is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.  Admission is free and open to the public.
