His work is also featured in the permanent collections of the Latvian Museum of Art, the Latvian National Museum of Photography, and the collections of Yale, Syracuse, and Pennsylvania State Universities.
As an educator, Ubans has taught painting and drawing at the University of Southern Maine since 1968, where he chaired the Art Department from 1974 to 1979. He was instrumental in developing the department’s curriculum after the merger of the University of Maine at Portland and Gorham State College of UM, and for making the department one of the most widely respected departments of studio art in the Northeast.
Among his many positions of prominence in the art world Ubans served as a consultant for the Latvian Council of Science and the Latvian Academy of Art. He also was chair of the Board of Trustees of the American Folk Life Center at the Library of Congress; a member of the Board of the Maine Commission on the Arts and Humanities; a commissioner for the National Association of Schools of Art and Design; and a member of the National Conference of State Legislators.”
