myUMMA Just For Fun

It’s Spring Break season, and for many, that can mean planes, beaches, and summer sun in the middle of our never-ending Michigan winter.  But if your travel plans this year look more like couch, coffee, and scrolling, art can still take you somewhere!

Spring Break Vacay your Way☀️ is a collection of UMMA art curated to bring you spring break vibes while you contemplate how to dress for 20 degree mornings and 60 degree afternoons. So for this Spring Break, try a mini escape through works of art. Imagine the sounds, the weather, the story happening just outside the frame.

Where are you? Who is there? What happens next? You can think of it like a choose your own adventure story. And the best part is there are no busy airports, no missing luggage, and no sunburn—just a quick trip through space, time, and your imagination.

Not a bad spring break plan, honestly. ✈️🎨
