As part of The University of Texas at Austin's annual Undergraduate Research Week, all department areas will be exhibiting, presenting and engaging the wider UT community in their work and research.
For the entire week of April 16-20, undergraduate students will present visual work from Painting/Drawing, Photography and Media, Print, Sculpture and Extended Media and Transmedia throughout the art building. If you cannot make it to campus, but still want to see the work, follow #UTartresearch or #HookedonArtResearch on Instagram and Twitter to catch a glimpse. Core students will also be exhibiting their work in the FAB gallery in the basement of the Doty Fine Arts building.
Art History students will present their research during the sixth annual Undergraduate Art History Research Symposium on April 20 from 3 - 6pm, a program that capstones the art history honors thesis experience. Student presenters include Alyssa Miller, Scilla Myers, Mackenzie Nissen, Nick Purgett, Sofia Yazpik, and Grace Zhang.
