“I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.” This quote by Jorge Luis Borges is rather perfect for this week—UHMC ARTS WEEK, where our new, imaginative library features an Art Gallery!
ARTS WEEK has become the College’s biannual exhibition of student art. Past events have included studio art, creative media, music, fashion design, and performance literary arts. This year, the library is proud to host and curate a virtual student arts exhibition, with provided faculty submissions.
In preparation for Spring 2021, we’re building a new kind of virtual library experience—reimagining library tours, scavenger hunts, and other engagements for exploration and learning. For the purpose of ARTS WEEK the virtual Arts Gallery has opened early, for all to explore! Once you enter the virtual library, you will see the Art Gallery indicated in pink. All other rooms will open in January.
ENJOY!
The virtual library is being built with good ‘ol Google Slides. The art gallery currently consists of nearly 100 slides. Thanks for your patience as it loads. Please address questions or comments to: epeterso@hawaii.edu
With the closing of our library building in March, we’ve had to make a lot of adjustments, including the way we feature and showcase some of our favorite things.
Inspired by our students’ powerful responses and reflections to the COVID-19 crisis and acknowledging that viewing art lowers stress levels and mental exhaustion (among other benefits–read more about this here), we’ve created this blog site as a virtual space for the Spring 2020 student visual arts exhibition.
Although this virtual approach removes the experience of seeing these meaningful art pieces in person, this move gives the students credit they deserve, while maintaining a healthy distance. PLUS, this is a good opportunity to be able to share student work with a broader audience!

If you’re a lover of art books, The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum offers more the 200 exhibition catalogs that you can download from its archives for free!
Along with virtual tours and various online courses provided by NYC museums, you can now add skimming through art books to your list of things to do while you’re being safer at home. You can find a link to the Guggenheim’s archive here.
