Support for WYCE comes from UICA, Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts.

UICA features gallery exhibitions of work from regional, national and international artists throughout the year and hosts a range of events including concerts, performance art, artist receptions and gallery talks.

Cultivate - UICA's ArtPrize Nine exhibition - is a curated group show that uses food as a lens to examine cultural history, social equity, and the effects of globalization on communities. Get a first look at the exhibition on September 9the during OddBall, UICA's signature fundraising event and ArtPrize kick-off party -- or become a UICA member today to enjoy exclusive benefits during ArtPrize Nine.
