"Origin"

Jose Valverde is hosting an exhibition at our UAC facilities called “ORIGIN”. Learn more about the artists and the exhibition below. UAC partners with artists to give them opportunities to curate shows and/or exhibit their work in our storefront office space, located at 422 N. Cleveland. This is a FREE exhibition opportunity for local artists.  This initiative is designed to support and showcase the creativity of our artistic community.  In addition to attending opening night events and artists talks, visitors are welcome to drop in during business hours, 10-5 Tuesday-Thursday.

Meet the artist:


Jose Valverde, a Mexican artist based in Memphis, skillfully combines Mexican folklore with Native American influences in captivating artworks. With a deep appreciation for both cultures, my unique style celebrates the vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and enchanting stories of the Southwest. Inspired by diverse landscapes and traditions, my art transports viewers to another world, inviting them to explore and embrace the beauty of different cultures. Through photography and painting, I capture fleeting moments of beauty and infuse artwork with an authentic sense of place and emotion.
