Scheduled every two years, this exhibition presents a sampling of what the art and design professors accomplish in their creative and scholarly endeavors outside the classroom. The 2025 exhibition, which runs October 20 through November 15, features 31 faculty members working in a wide variety of media including painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, photography, glass, printmaking, cinematic arts, and design. In addition, the department's art historians and art educators will have examples of recent publications on display."As we near the 40th anniversary of this gallery of contemporary art, it is wonderful to see the range of work our faculty are engaged in making and how it serves as an exemplar of what The Gallery at UTA is all about. We are focused on bringing innovative art and design to our public community and our faculty's creative work does just that, time and again.
