UTA Art + Art History

It’s almost here!

Academic Advisor Spotlight! 📣

Academic advisors have a very important role here in the College of Liberal Arts. They help students navigate degree plans, requirements, and even provide resources for academic success. Today's spotlight is on Eduardo Cardona, Academic Advisor in the Department of Art and Art History.

“Seeing our students' confidence grow throughout every advising session is very rewarding.”

UTA Art + Art History

We had such a great time celebrating the grads, Maria Esswein, Trenton Williams and Ari Brielle on Friday! We also got to gift professor Yana Payusova a little something from the students to show appreciation for her and all that she did in the program. Payusova is off to Arizona after this semester, and we will miss her greatly. 🌱💜

Join us in celebrating Ari Brielle, Maria Esswein and Trenton Williams this Friday from 5pm -7pm for the MFA Thesis Exhibition reception! We are so proud of these grads and can’t wait to see their new work!

We are thrilled to have acclaimed filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist Ja’Tovia Gary here at UTA for a lecture Monday, April 3rd at 1pm in FAB 148! ✨

Ja’Tovia Gary’s work, which spans across documentary, avante-grade video art, sculpture and installation, seeks to trouble notions of objectivity and neutrality in nonfiction storytelling by asserting a Black feminist subjectivity. Gary’s films and installations serve as reparative gestures for the distorted histories through which Black life is often viewed. Black sociality, familial bonds, the interiority of Black women and femmes, and the global efforts toward liberation often pull focus in Gary’s multivalent works.

The artist has exhibited at the Hammer Museum, The Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney Museum, among many other spaces. Gary has received fellowships from the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Creative Capital, Field of Vision, and is 2022 Guggenheim Fellow.

We can’t wait for Gary’s talk Monday and hope to see you there!
