UNT Speaker Series Offers a Vision for the Future

A new virtual speaker series from the UNT College of Visual Arts and Design imagines a future where art students, teachers, art collectors, museum directors, artists and their art better reflect our world

Two visual arts scholars of color at the University of North Texas are expanding on that idea in a speaker series that examines anti-black racism and cultural bias in the visual arts.
