"SUPERHERO & SUPERHERO" is the inaugural production by the newly launched Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre program in the College of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts. This original comedy is devised by the ensemble, and explores the question: "What does it mean to be a hero in our contemporary world?" Audiences will marvel at a performance collage that will include movement sequences, comedy sketches, personal stories, original music compositions and innovative costumes, sets and lighting. There will also be a supervillain and superhero to save the day. Nov 7-9 at 7:30 p.m. at the Black Box Theater, Liberal Arts and Arts and Humanities Building. Free for students, $5 general admission for others. Tickets at the MSC Box Office.

Whether it is Flemish still life that highlights the glory of nature, a botanical illustration that chronicles the ideal version of a plant, or a close up view of flowers as graphic abstractions, their intricate shapes, vibrant colors, and delicate qualities make flowers ideal subjects for artists. See works by Beth Van Hoesen, Richard Stout, A.D. Greer, and Grace Kelly, plus many more.

She made a name for herself as a professional artist at a time when the art world was marginalizing women. She was one of the few female faculty members at the Art Institute of Chicago prior to World War II, becoming an innovative teacher known for mentoring her students. During her over 30-year teaching career she influenced generations of art history students, embracing modernism, introducing them to African art, and instilling her constant drive to explore new things into her students. Join us for a Gallery Talk & Reception on Nov. 7, 2024 at 5:30 p.m. in the Stark Galleries with guest speaker Victoria Hennessey Cummins, Ph.D.   This exhibition represents the eighth installation in the Texas Art Project (https://uart.tamu.edu/texasartproject/) series.

The concept of pattern in the arts provides artists with tools that can limit creativity or suggest new avenues for exploration. They can offer a maker innovative options to explore with their accustomed materials and techniques; at times present a designer a means of control; advance a range of new ornaments and motifs to work with; and impart a new understanding of the relation between functional and decorative form. This exhibition will look at the impact of pattern in the arts using the University Art Galleries collections.
