Open Inquiry: UC Arts brings together emerging artists from the University of California’s leading art programs at UCLA, UC Berkeley, and UC Davis. Featuring current students and graduates from the past two decades, the exhibition highlights innovative, research-driven practices across painting, sculpture, installation, performance, and digital media.
Framing artistic practice as a form of inquiry, Open Inquiry presents the studio as a site of experimentation, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving. At a time when public arts education faces increasing challenges, the exhibition affirms the vital role of UC arts programs in fostering intellectual freedom, social engagement, and artistic discovery.
