UMMC proudly thanks everyone who joined us for the 2025 Healing Arts Exhibit Award Ceremony! Earlier this month, colleagues, families, and visitors filled the Downtown Campus Atrium Hallway to celebrate 129 artists who created 181 original works, including paintings, sculptures, photography, and more.
Our judges from Art with a Heart announced cash-prize winners in the youth, teen, and adult categories. The ceremony also recognized this year’s Best in Show recipient and awarded a $200 Art Education Award, which supports classes, materials, or training that advance artistic growth.
Congratulations to all of this year’s winners and thank you to every artist who shared their talent with the UMMC community.
The exhibit will remain on display until the end of November, with the winning pieces traveling to the University of Maryland Midtown Campus for an additional eight-week showcase
