“This year's series, especially the increase in lectures, both reflects and advances our intention to make UT Dallas a major cultural force in the greater Dallas region,” said Dennis Kratz, dean of the School of Arts and Humanities.
Those familiar with the Arts and Humanities season can look forward to annual traditions, such as:
UT Dallas students are a major part of each events season. Students will be practicing their art and exhibiting at least once a month during the fall semester at Say Anything exhibition and the Best of Broadway II choral concert.
“You won't want to miss our great student performances this fall,” said Kathryn Evans, associate dean for the arts. “From Broadway tunes to jazz standards to modern dance to impressive art exhibitions, our series also give our students a chance to shine.”
The School of Arts and Humanities hosts events throughout the year to give students access to the arts, no matter what their major, and to promote the arts and humanities in the Dallas area.
