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 Los Angeles–based artist Lia Halloran (b. 1977). The works on display are posters reproduced from her series Your Body Is a Space That Sees, which sources historical imagery and narratives and traces the numerous contributions made by women in astronomy since antiquity.

A set of 10 unframed posters like the ones on display can be purchased for $25 (includes shipping & handling). All proceeds from poster sales will support future Art Gallery programming and help us get out into the community. To order, please email artgallery@umd.edu and mention "Lia Halloran Posters" in the subject line. Please allow 1-2 weeks for shipping.
