Resilience Exhibition poster

Reception: Friday, November 6, 2026, 4-6 p.m.

Resilience brings together eight artists whose distinct practices illuminate the strength, adaptability, and emotional depth required to confront personal, social, and environmental challenges.

The exhibiting artists (Katelynn Bass, Cecilia Beal, Sarah (Ari) Clark, Ariana Cooper, Daniya Davidson, Emily Gorden, Ryan J. Hauth and Cheyanne Jacobs) work across a wide range of media, exploring themes spanning humanity, nature and the surreal. Together, their works demonstrate how creative expression becomes an act of endurance, transforming lived experience, cultural reflection and imaginative inquiry into visual narratives of persistence and hope.

As UNCP鈥檚 art gallery, our goal is to give students a place to shine as well as bring the arts to our entire community.

The A.D. Gallery at UNC Pembroke began in the 1970s when faculty transformed a faculty lounge into a dedicated exhibition space. It served the art department for over 30 years. In 2005, the gallery was expanded to a new 960-square-foot facility. This new facility features a skylight and space for large-format pieces. We invite you to explore this inspiring space and discover what makes the UNCP art gallery truly unique.
