When we think about “quality time,” we often think about the intimate bonding moments we get to spend with our loved ones. During the announcement of the Corona virus quarantine, some of us have no one to spend quality time with, but instead spend the time alone, creating our art to pass the time.

In QUALITY TIME, Mata Art Gallery’s premier online art exhibition, we get to have an inside look at the new works artists have spent their quality time with. How have you passed your time during this quarantine? What does quality time mean to you?
Artists receive 100% of all artwork sales. Please email gallery if you are interested in purchasing any of the works.
