Us Gallery Contemporary
Second Annual Virtual Exhibition: “Functions of Art”

Us Gallery Contemporary is a non-profit organization committed to promoting creativity, learning, and growth in emerging artists by offering meaningful exhibition opportunities. This year, we are proud to host our second annual 3D virtual exhibition, Functions of Art, now live at usgallerycontemporary.com. This exhibition celebrates the work of young, forward-thinking artists from around the world.

After six months of preparation, we are thrilled to present over 40 selected artworks from a pool of 200+ submissionsfrom Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, China, and beyond. These works are thoughtfully organized into three categories and exhibited across two 3D virtual gallery spaces:

• Gallery I: Fine Art

• Gallery II: Design and Illustration

• Gallery III: Film and Photography

This year’s theme, Functions of Art, explores how artistic expression can assign unique, often unseen, functions to art—functions that extend beyond visual appeal. These diverse interpretations influence how we perceive and interact with the world around us.

Art means something different to everyone. It can act as a form of healing, a vessel for personal storytelling, a way to commemorate special moments, or a means of documenting and reflecting on the world. Art is not distant or abstract—it lives among us. Artists transform their skills into powerful languages, creating bridges between their inner worlds and the audience.

Since our founding in 2019, Us Gallery Contemporary has worked with over 150 artists globally, with the mission of enriching our creative community and making space for young voices to be heard and celebrated. We are deeply grateful for the thoughtfulness and creativity each artist has brought to this exhibition and to the Us community.

We look forward to continuing this journey—sharing work, exchanging ideas, and making the world a more imaginative place.

Thank you for supporting Us.
