Arts Exchange
Arts Exchange Gallery Show Mission/Vision Statement:
The Heller Arts Exchange is an annual program that funds and supports the creation of an exhibition of new work by a local artist in collaboration with UCCS Students. The program provides an opportunity for a local artist to devise a gallery exhibition focused on their work. Simultaneously, it provides students with the opportunity to work alongside a professional artist, have their work funded and exhibited, and experience the planning and executing of a gallery show. Students receive mentorship from both the artist and the Heller curator.
The Heller Arts Exchange is generously funded by the UCCS Provost’s Office.

Featured Artist: Memory of Trees
Memory of Trees transforms 131 years of regional climate data into a site-responsive sculptural labyrinth, connecting temperature, precipitation, environmental legislation, and community experiences. The project considers landscapes as living archives that record both ecological transformations and human decisions, and will be a central component of the overall exhibition, Environmental Memory: Art, Ecology, and Changing Landscapes.
