Artists Against the Bomb opens Friday, October 16, 2026.
May 14–June 14, 2025
By generously donating artwork, the artists featured in the 2025 Annual Gala Art Auction Exhibition contribute to UMOCA’s mission in real and tangible ways. This year marks a record number of artist donations—an inspiring show of solidarity that reflects a deep and enduring belief in the value of the arts in America. At a time when support for the arts is facing renewed challenges, this outpouring of generosity underscores the essential role that artists and institutions like UMOCA play in sustaining a vibrant cultural landscape. Auction proceeds will directly benefit artists and community members through UMOCA’s exhibitions, education, and Artist-in-Residence programs, supporting an expansive and experimental arts scene in Utah.
