Female artists of all ages and skills share portraits and narratives of the women and girls they admire most in the world. Based on an idea by former Split Rock Arts Program Director Andrea "Andy" Gilats and curated by UROC Gallery Curator Hawona Sullivan Janzen, "She Inspires Me" is meant to delight, inspire, and illuminate what it means to be a woman and a role model in contemporary society.

Art is My Weapon founder Nikki McComb uses data exploring evictions in North Minneapolis as the guide for "The Moving Walls of Minneapolis." Part installation, part visual story, this exhibit, produced in partnership with the University of Minnesota Center for Urban and Regional Affairs, brings a deeply personal local perspective to our country’s affordable housing crisis.

Charles Caldwell, his son Kenneth Caldwell, and his daughter Nakesha Caldwell bring their passions for painting to the UROC Gallery in "The Caldwells: Black History and Beyond." The show is a partial retrospective of Charles' work, but also features new work by all three artists.

Fine art photographer Anna Min spent the last year seeking out joy and wonderment in the modern world and answering the question, "Where does joy go when it's not around here?" The resulting exhibit—"Joy in Translation"— is a collection of images designed to delight the eye, inspire joy, and give the heart hope for another day.

Twin Cities artist Tricia Schweitzer spends a lot of time driving across bridges. One day, she stopped just long enough to think about how many people have been 'bridges' to her. How could she tell them how thankful she is for their efforts? She decided to make a list and ask each of them if she could paint their portrait. "Bridges: We Are Stronger Together" combines those portraits with Schweitzer's striking paintings of area bridges to remind us of how human connection makes us stronger.
