Each spring, as part of the 20+ year Viewpoint Lecture Series, the department hosts a pair of leading art critics or curators for lectures, critiques, and seminars during three interactions with the UT Austin campus community over the course of the semester.
This year, the UT Department of Art and Art History invites Anne Ellegood and Thomas J. Lax. To view the full semester-long schedule, please visit our 2021 series announcement.
