Diversity and Presence is a compilation of artwork by female faculty members within the University of California system.  The exhibit strives to unite and present the works of female artists, which, until the 1980s, were outnumbered by the vast number of male faculty artists.  This is the first exhibit to compile the works of female faculty artists within the UC system.  Kathryn Metz, Helen Harrison, and Patricia Patterson are only a few of the many female artists whose works make up this empowering exhibit.
