In December 2026, New City Arts, supported by UVA Arts & the Office of the Provost & the Vice Provost for the Arts, presents an exhibition of work by a UVA Arts student.
This partnership exhibition provides a UVA Studio Art student with an opportunity to present their work and further their professional practice in the Charlottesville community. Selected students or Fellows are provided with support for an exhibition and connection with a local artist mentor.
Past student exhibitions have featured Kirsten Hemrich, Isabella Whitfield, Uzo Njoku, Tori Cherry, Leo Zhang, David Askew, Maddie Butkovich, Claire Szeptycki, Autumn Jefferson, and Chloe Clayborne.
Located at 114 3rd St. NE on Charlottesville’s downtown pedestrian mall, New City Arts’ Welcome Gallery supports artists who live in the Charlottesville area. Welcome Gallery exhibitions and programs are made possible by generous sponsors, donors, and grants. Interested in sponsoring an exhibition? Connect with us!
