Dreams Made Manifest is an exhibition of works that celebrate human resilience and the capacity to dream in even the darkest hour. Amidst uncertainty and information overload, this exhibition is a space for people to breathe in a collective breath of hope.
This show is a collaboration between US+U and Origin Arts. Origin Arts is a creative collective that provides early-career curators with the support and resources needed to transform ideas into proposals and ultimately into professional exhibitions, while fostering a dynamic ecosystem that connects them with emerging artists to spark mutual growth.
Its founder, Dominique Danielle, is a BIPOC arist and curator from Gulfport, Mississippi whose own work explores themes of memory and becoming at the intersection of technology and nature. They currently live and work in Brooklyn, NY.

WHO WE ARE
Urban Studio + Unbound creates and nourishes professional development through emphasizing participation and collaboration. Artists are engaged in a broad range of issues and topics, and are encouraged to find new and diverse venues for their work. US+U was founded on the understanding that the art world has rapidly changed from the traditional role of museums and galleries to self created venues and community based opportunities. Artists are encouraged to participate in administrative art activities as well as hands on studio projects.
US+U’s strength of purpose is to combine emerging and mid-career artists in a partnership to embrace a wide range of artistic approaches. This unique relationship creates a community of people who learn from each other through shared ideas and common goals.
Located in downtown Yonkers, our artists are drawn from both the local community-YOHO, Ludlow and the Bronx
as well as Brooklyn, Queens & Manhattan.
Urban Studio Unbound is a 501c3 Non-Profit Organization as of Sept 2014.
US+U is a proud CDBG Recipient and is grateful to Mayor Mike Spano and the City of Yonkers for their support.
Their support has created a platform for us and the many artists who exhibit, teach and take part in gallery activities, as well as enables us to provide arts & cultural services/experiences to the local community.
