This spring, the Stamp Gallery at the University of Maryland, College Park, presents Then, Now, and Tomorrow, an exhibition of artwork acquired this year by the University’s Contemporary Art Purchasing Program (CAPP). On view February 16 through April 4, the exhibition features eight artworks selected by the 2024-2025 Contemporary Art Purchasing Program Committee. 

Deeply empathetic, forward-thinking and community-centered, this year’s CAPP Committee selections encapsulate the multiplicity that exists within all of us. This CAPP cycle’s acquisitions showcase a wide range of artists from University of Maryland alumni, to Prince George’s County residents, to artists based in cities like New York and Baltimore, encompassing the variety of people and identities that exist and resonate within our nexus at the University of Maryland. 

This exhibition and associated programming is supported in part by a grant from the Maryland State Arts Council.
