UMD Gallery & Projects opened in 2021 as a public space for experimental artwork literally ‘Under My Deck' in Ucluelet, British Columbia as a response to the lack of exhibition venues in a small rural community. UMD is an opportunity to reframe domestic space as a place to decolonize and problematize land ownership, sharing artwork and conversations that usually only happen in larger urban centres.
UMD FREE - front yard gallery and projects - launched in 2024 with the addition of a tiny gallery space in the front yard on Bay Street. Special thanks to Clayoquot Biosphere Trust for funding this initiative.
