Unicorn Tapestry

By Pavel Ouporov

At age 11, Ouporov earned admittance into the Moscow State Academy Art Lyceum; he graduated at 18 and earned a Master of Fine Arts from the Moscow Surikov State Academy Art Institute. Ouporov and his partner have received national and international recognition.

The Q.U.A.R.A.N.T.I.N.E. Project

South Florida artist Chen H. Bitton has curated an online exhibition, auction and fundraiser that runs through June 18. The project brings together artists from different backgrounds and funnels the COVID-19 experience through their creative prism. The exhibition is merging with Artist Relief Tree, with much of the proceeds going to that foundation’s fund for artists affected by cancellations due to the coronavirus.
