about make art with us

Through times of uncertainty, art has the power to comfort and heal. Make Art With Us is about taking a moment to create and connect with UC San Diego. We encourage you to unplug, make art, and mail it out for all to enjoy. Let your creativity shine and make a postcard for our community art project.

Note: No prior artistic experience necessary. Let your inner 1st grade self-expression take charge. Plus, you can send your art anonymously, so there is no pressure. Of course, if you want to sign your Picasso, please do.

Project begins on May 1st
and continues through Summer 2020
