Since St. Francis Street has Portuguese heritage, the name of UMA G is deeply inspired by the street’s background. “UMA” means one in Portuguese, “G” stands for gallery, ground, and gathering. UMA G is absolutely the most appropriate name to describe this unique art place, which combines exhibition, gathering, lecture, and catering in one space.
UMA G focuses on promoting local art and culture. They aim to use the space to target more people for approaching art. There have been many fabulous exhibitions have shown in UMA G. Not only the local artists are included, such as Mr. Lau Ching Pingﾕs photographic exhibition, but also some excellent works from the foreign artists, such as Spanish artist Lucia Alvarez’s show and Chinese artist Wu Yiming’s paintings exhibition.
Aside from exhibitions, UMA G also invites artists to share their philosophy of art with the public in sharing sessions.
