What do coffee and art have in common? Conversation.

Since the University of Maryland Art Gallery remains temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we've decided to bring our world-class arts programming into the community. We've partnered with Lost Sock Roasters to present a socially distant, in-person micro exhibition of artwork by Austin-based artist Xochi Solis (b. 1981). The works on display vary in direction, approach, and meaning. Abstract and chaotic-looking at first glance, Solis’ hybrid collage-paintings are delicately arranged with utmost precision. Hints of color, texture, image, and text peek through the multi-layered compositions, allowing for the viewer to make connections that one otherwise might not even imagine—a true conversation starter.
