UTA students meet up and hang out at the Arlington Main Street Arts Festival starting at 1 p.m. at the UTA Radio Booth.

Curated by Jorge Baldor, historian, art collector, and founder of the Latino Arts Project, this densely layered exhibition centers on the centuries-long journey of the Gullah-Muscogo people and their culture - from West Africa to the eventual founding of the town of Nacimiento de los Negros, Mexico.Part art exhibition, part archival display, Baldor has paired artists working in diverse media with historical documents, maps and artifacts to tell "a story of resilience, culture and freedom."The exhibition also includes a selection of oil pastel on paper sketches by renowned contemporary artist Sedrick Huckaby who visited Mexico over a four-month period in 2023 to work on this portrait series of the present-day people of Nacimiento that depicts a community deeply connected to their history.

UTA Theatre Arts and Dance begins the fall semester with two contemporary plays presented in repertory in the Studio Theatre. Will Power’s 2018 play, Seize the King, is a contemporary adaptation of Shakespeare's Richard III seen through an Afrofuturist lens.Guest director Jiles King is excited for the challenges this play will bring to UTA Acting students, particularly the play’s “demanding combination of contemporary and poetic language.”Performances will be Sept. 19 and 27 at 7:30 p.m, and Sept. 20 and 28 at 2 p.m.
