Insightful review of The Menil Collection's Janet Sobel exhibition, written by Painting MFA alum Lauren Moya Ford. Congrats Lauren!

Why Did Art History Marginalize Janet Sobel? A new show at the Menil Collection in Houston raises important questions about the ways that we remember and historicize artists.

Congratulations to Associate Professor Keliy Anderson-Staley for being awarded the Faculty Excellence in Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity Award by Provost Chase!

SoA CAMP (School of Art Community Mentorship Program) is entering its third year. I’m very excited for our students and a little envious that they get to work with these amazing artists!

SoA CAMP (School of Art Community Artist Mentorship Program) is an opportunity for Undergraduate art students to work closely as an assistant to one of these artists during the Spring semester (with an option to extend over the Summer). Students receive an honorarium and internship credit.
