<p> </p>

<p>Originally from Sweden, Stenhammar left a midlife career as a medical doctor to pursue her passion for art-making. She is currently based in Fort Worth, Texas, with her family and is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at UTA.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Stenhammar’s work investigates transformation, materiality, and transcendence through painting, sculpture, and collage. Working intuitively with unstretched canvas, wood panels, acrylic and latex paint, charcoal, found materials, and hand-built ceramics, she approaches art-making as an encounter between herself, the materials, and the divine.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Through layered gestures and evolving forms, abstract marks gradually emerge into figurative imagery, reflecting her interest in discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary. Her artistic practice invites viewers to look beyond surface appearances and consider realities that extend beyond what is immediately visible.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>How Unexpected, on display June 5-July 26, is curated by Art and Art History Professor, Benjamin Terry, and hosted by the Arlington Museum of Art.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The Exhibition's reception will be Thursday, June 18, from 6-8 p.m.</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Originally from Sweden, Stenhammar left a midlife career as a medical doctor to pursue her passion for art-making. She is currently based in Fort Worth, Texas, with her family and is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at UTA.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Stenhammar’s work investigates transformation, materiality, and transcendence through painting, sculpture, and collage. Working intuitively with unstretched canvas, wood panels, acrylic and latex paint, charcoal, found materials, and hand-built ceramics, she approaches art-making as an encounter between herself, the materials, and the divine.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Through layered gestures and evolving forms, abstract marks gradually emerge into figurative imagery, reflecting her interest in discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary. Her artistic practice invites viewers to look beyond surface appearances and consider realities that extend beyond what is immediately visible.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>How Unexpected, on display June 5-July 26, is curated by Art and Art History Professor, Benjamin Terry, and hosted by the Arlington Museum of Art.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The Exhibition's reception will be Thursday, June 18, from 6-8 p.m.</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Originally from Sweden, Stenhammar left a midlife career as a medical doctor to pursue her passion for art-making. She is currently based in Fort Worth, Texas, with her family and is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at UTA.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Stenhammar’s work investigates transformation, materiality, and transcendence through painting, sculpture, and collage. Working intuitively with unstretched canvas, wood panels, acrylic and latex paint, charcoal, found materials, and hand-built ceramics, she approaches art-making as an encounter between herself, the materials, and the divine.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Through layered gestures and evolving forms, abstract marks gradually emerge into figurative imagery, reflecting her interest in discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary. Her artistic practice invites viewers to look beyond surface appearances and consider realities that extend beyond what is immediately visible.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>How Unexpected, on display June 5-July 26, is curated by Art and Art History Professor, Benjamin Terry, and hosted by the Arlington Museum of Art.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The Exhibition's reception will be Thursday, June 18, from 6-8 p.m.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Originally from Sweden, Stenhammar left a midlife career as a medical doctor to pursue her passion for art-making. She is currently based in Fort Worth, Texas, with her family and is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at UTA.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Stenhammar’s work investigates transformation, materiality, and transcendence through painting, sculpture, and collage. Working intuitively with unstretched canvas, wood panels, acrylic and latex paint, charcoal, found materials, and hand-built ceramics, she approaches art-making as an encounter between herself, the materials, and the divine.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Through layered gestures and evolving forms, abstract marks gradually emerge into figurative imagery, reflecting her interest in discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary. Her artistic practice invites viewers to look beyond surface appearances and consider realities that extend beyond what is immediately visible.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>How Unexpected, on display June 5-July 26, is curated by Art and Art History Professor, Benjamin Terry, and hosted by the Arlington Museum of Art.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The Exhibition's reception will be Thursday, June 18, from 6-8 p.m.</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>We are celebrating the 2026 FIFA World Cup with Atlas of Champions, an exhibit featuring one historic map to represent each country competing in the "world's premier international competition."</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Atlas of Champions includes over 60 maps created over the course of six centuries and in nine different languages. The exhibit also features photographs and artifacts from the 1994 World Cup games in Dallas.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>As athletes and fans travel from across the globe to watch the World Cup, we invite all to explore the history of cartography.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Originally from Sweden, Stenhammar left a midlife career as a medical doctor to pursue her passion for art-making. She is currently based in Fort Worth, Texas, with her family and is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at UTA.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Stenhammar’s work investigates transformation, materiality, and transcendence through painting, sculpture, and collage. Working intuitively with unstretched canvas, wood panels, acrylic and latex paint, charcoal, found materials, and hand-built ceramics, she approaches art-making as an encounter between herself, the materials, and the divine.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Through layered gestures and evolving forms, abstract marks gradually emerge into figurative imagery, reflecting her interest in discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary. Her artistic practice invites viewers to look beyond surface appearances and consider realities that extend beyond what is immediately visible.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>How Unexpected, on display June 5-July 26, is curated by Art and Art History Professor, Benjamin Terry, and hosted by the Arlington Museum of Art.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The Exhibition's reception will be Thursday, June 18, from 6-8 p.m.</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>

<p>As athletes and fans travel from across the globe to watch the World Cup, we invite all to explore the history of cartography.</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Originally from Sweden, Stenhammar left a midlife career as a medical doctor to pursue her passion for art-making. She is currently based in Fort Worth, Texas, with her family and is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at UTA.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Stenhammar’s work investigates transformation, materiality, and transcendence through painting, sculpture, and collage. Working intuitively with unstretched canvas, wood panels, acrylic and latex paint, charcoal, found materials, and hand-built ceramics, she approaches art-making as an encounter between herself, the materials, and the divine.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Through layered gestures and evolving forms, abstract marks gradually emerge into figurative imagery, reflecting her interest in discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary. Her artistic practice invites viewers to look beyond surface appearances and consider realities that extend beyond what is immediately visible.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>How Unexpected, on display June 5-July 26, is curated by Art and Art History Professor, Benjamin Terry, and hosted by the Arlington Museum of Art.</p>

<p> </p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Originally from Sweden, Stenhammar left a midlife career as a medical doctor to pursue her passion for art-making. She is currently based in Fort Worth, Texas, with her family and is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at UTA.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Stenhammar’s work investigates transformation, materiality, and transcendence through painting, sculpture, and collage. Working intuitively with unstretched canvas, wood panels, acrylic and latex paint, charcoal, found materials, and hand-built ceramics, she approaches art-making as an encounter between herself, the materials, and the divine.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Through layered gestures and evolving forms, abstract marks gradually emerge into figurative imagery, reflecting her interest in discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary. Her artistic practice invites viewers to look beyond surface appearances and consider realities that extend beyond what is immediately visible.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>How Unexpected, on display June 5-July 26, is curated by Art and Art History Professor, Benjamin Terry, and hosted by the Arlington Museum of Art.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The Exhibition's reception will be Thursday, June 18, from 6-8 p.m.</p>

Whether it’s an email or text that sounds enticing, a suspicious phone call or a social media post with an urgent request from a supposed “friend,” someone may be trying to steal your identity for financial gain.</p>

<p>In this webinar, hosted by TIAA we’ll look at how to:</p>

<p>   · Understand the threats</p>

<p>   · Know how it can happen</p>

<p>   · Secure your information</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Originally from Sweden, Stenhammar left a midlife career as a medical doctor to pursue her passion for art-making. She is currently based in Fort Worth, Texas, with her family and is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at UTA.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Stenhammar’s work investigates transformation, materiality, and transcendence through painting, sculpture, and collage. Working intuitively with unstretched canvas, wood panels, acrylic and latex paint, charcoal, found materials, and hand-built ceramics, she approaches art-making as an encounter between herself, the materials, and the divine.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Through layered gestures and evolving forms, abstract marks gradually emerge into figurative imagery, reflecting her interest in discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary. Her artistic practice invites viewers to look beyond surface appearances and consider realities that extend beyond what is immediately visible.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>How Unexpected, on display June 5-July 26, is curated by Art and Art History Professor, Benjamin Terry, and hosted by the Arlington Museum of Art.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The Exhibition's reception will be Thursday, June 18, from 6-8 p.m.</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Originally from Sweden, Stenhammar left a midlife career as a medical doctor to pursue her passion for art-making. She is currently based in Fort Worth, Texas, with her family and is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at UTA.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Stenhammar’s work investigates transformation, materiality, and transcendence through painting, sculpture, and collage. Working intuitively with unstretched canvas, wood panels, acrylic and latex paint, charcoal, found materials, and hand-built ceramics, she approaches art-making as an encounter between herself, the materials, and the divine.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Through layered gestures and evolving forms, abstract marks gradually emerge into figurative imagery, reflecting her interest in discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary. Her artistic practice invites viewers to look beyond surface appearances and consider realities that extend beyond what is immediately visible.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>How Unexpected, on display June 5-July 26, is curated by Art and Art History Professor, Benjamin Terry, and hosted by the Arlington Museum of Art.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The Exhibition's reception will be Thursday, June 18, from 6-8 p.m.</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Originally from Sweden, Stenhammar left a midlife career as a medical doctor to pursue her passion for art-making. She is currently based in Fort Worth, Texas, with her family and is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at UTA.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Stenhammar’s work investigates transformation, materiality, and transcendence through painting, sculpture, and collage. Working intuitively with unstretched canvas, wood panels, acrylic and latex paint, charcoal, found materials, and hand-built ceramics, she approaches art-making as an encounter between herself, the materials, and the divine.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Through layered gestures and evolving forms, abstract marks gradually emerge into figurative imagery, reflecting her interest in discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary. Her artistic practice invites viewers to look beyond surface appearances and consider realities that extend beyond what is immediately visible.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>How Unexpected, on display June 5-July 26, is curated by Art and Art History Professor, Benjamin Terry, and hosted by the Arlington Museum of Art.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The Exhibition's reception will be Thursday, June 18, from 6-8 p.m.</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Originally from Sweden, Stenhammar left a midlife career as a medical doctor to pursue her passion for art-making. She is currently based in Fort Worth, Texas, with her family and is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at UTA.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Stenhammar’s work investigates transformation, materiality, and transcendence through painting, sculpture, and collage. Working intuitively with unstretched canvas, wood panels, acrylic and latex paint, charcoal, found materials, and hand-built ceramics, she approaches art-making as an encounter between herself, the materials, and the divine.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Through layered gestures and evolving forms, abstract marks gradually emerge into figurative imagery, reflecting her interest in discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary. Her artistic practice invites viewers to look beyond surface appearances and consider realities that extend beyond what is immediately visible.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>How Unexpected, on display June 5-July 26, is curated by Art and Art History Professor, Benjamin Terry, and hosted by the Arlington Museum of Art.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The Exhibition's reception will be Thursday, June 18, from 6-8 p.m.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Originally from Sweden, Stenhammar left a midlife career as a medical doctor to pursue her passion for art-making. She is currently based in Fort Worth, Texas, with her family and is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at UTA.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Stenhammar’s work investigates transformation, materiality, and transcendence through painting, sculpture, and collage. Working intuitively with unstretched canvas, wood panels, acrylic and latex paint, charcoal, found materials, and hand-built ceramics, she approaches art-making as an encounter between herself, the materials, and the divine.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Through layered gestures and evolving forms, abstract marks gradually emerge into figurative imagery, reflecting her interest in discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary. Her artistic practice invites viewers to look beyond surface appearances and consider realities that extend beyond what is immediately visible.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>How Unexpected, on display June 5-July 26, is curated by Art and Art History Professor, Benjamin Terry, and hosted by the Arlington Museum of Art.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The Exhibition's reception will be Thursday, June 18, from 6-8 p.m.</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Originally from Sweden, Stenhammar left a midlife career as a medical doctor to pursue her passion for art-making. She is currently based in Fort Worth, Texas, with her family and is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at UTA.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Stenhammar’s work investigates transformation, materiality, and transcendence through painting, sculpture, and collage. Working intuitively with unstretched canvas, wood panels, acrylic and latex paint, charcoal, found materials, and hand-built ceramics, she approaches art-making as an encounter between herself, the materials, and the divine.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Through layered gestures and evolving forms, abstract marks gradually emerge into figurative imagery, reflecting her interest in discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary. Her artistic practice invites viewers to look beyond surface appearances and consider realities that extend beyond what is immediately visible.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>How Unexpected, on display June 5-July 26, is curated by Art and Art History Professor, Benjamin Terry, and hosted by the Arlington Museum of Art.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The Exhibition's reception will be Thursday, June 18, from 6-8 p.m.</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Originally from Sweden, Stenhammar left a midlife career as a medical doctor to pursue her passion for art-making. She is currently based in Fort Worth, Texas, with her family and is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at UTA.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Stenhammar’s work investigates transformation, materiality, and transcendence through painting, sculpture, and collage. Working intuitively with unstretched canvas, wood panels, acrylic and latex paint, charcoal, found materials, and hand-built ceramics, she approaches art-making as an encounter between herself, the materials, and the divine.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Through layered gestures and evolving forms, abstract marks gradually emerge into figurative imagery, reflecting her interest in discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary. Her artistic practice invites viewers to look beyond surface appearances and consider realities that extend beyond what is immediately visible.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>How Unexpected, on display June 5-July 26, is curated by Art and Art History Professor, Benjamin Terry, and hosted by the Arlington Museum of Art.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The Exhibition's reception will be Thursday, June 18, from 6-8 p.m.</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Originally from Sweden, Stenhammar left a midlife career as a medical doctor to pursue her passion for art-making. She is currently based in Fort Worth, Texas, with her family and is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at UTA.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Stenhammar’s work investigates transformation, materiality, and transcendence through painting, sculpture, and collage. Working intuitively with unstretched canvas, wood panels, acrylic and latex paint, charcoal, found materials, and hand-built ceramics, she approaches art-making as an encounter between herself, the materials, and the divine.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Through layered gestures and evolving forms, abstract marks gradually emerge into figurative imagery, reflecting her interest in discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary. Her artistic practice invites viewers to look beyond surface appearances and consider realities that extend beyond what is immediately visible.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>How Unexpected, on display June 5-July 26, is curated by Art and Art History Professor, Benjamin Terry, and hosted by the Arlington Museum of Art.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The Exhibition's reception will be Thursday, June 18, from 6-8 p.m.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Originally from Sweden, Stenhammar left a midlife career as a medical doctor to pursue her passion for art-making. She is currently based in Fort Worth, Texas, with her family and is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at UTA.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Stenhammar’s work investigates transformation, materiality, and transcendence through painting, sculpture, and collage. Working intuitively with unstretched canvas, wood panels, acrylic and latex paint, charcoal, found materials, and hand-built ceramics, she approaches art-making as an encounter between herself, the materials, and the divine.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Through layered gestures and evolving forms, abstract marks gradually emerge into figurative imagery, reflecting her interest in discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary. Her artistic practice invites viewers to look beyond surface appearances and consider realities that extend beyond what is immediately visible.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>How Unexpected, on display June 5-July 26, is curated by Art and Art History Professor, Benjamin Terry, and hosted by the Arlington Museum of Art.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The Exhibition's reception will be Thursday, June 18, from 6-8 p.m.</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Originally from Sweden, Stenhammar left a midlife career as a medical doctor to pursue her passion for art-making. She is currently based in Fort Worth, Texas, with her family and is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at UTA.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Stenhammar’s work investigates transformation, materiality, and transcendence through painting, sculpture, and collage. Working intuitively with unstretched canvas, wood panels, acrylic and latex paint, charcoal, found materials, and hand-built ceramics, she approaches art-making as an encounter between herself, the materials, and the divine.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Through layered gestures and evolving forms, abstract marks gradually emerge into figurative imagery, reflecting her interest in discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary. Her artistic practice invites viewers to look beyond surface appearances and consider realities that extend beyond what is immediately visible.</p>

<p>How Unexpected, on display June 5-July 26, is curated by Art and Art History Professor, Benjamin Terry, and hosted by the Arlington Museum of Art.</p>

<p> </p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Originally from Sweden, Stenhammar left a midlife career as a medical doctor to pursue her passion for art-making. She is currently based in Fort Worth, Texas, with her family and is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at UTA.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Stenhammar’s work investigates transformation, materiality, and transcendence through painting, sculpture, and collage. Working intuitively with unstretched canvas, wood panels, acrylic and latex paint, charcoal, found materials, and hand-built ceramics, she approaches art-making as an encounter between herself, the materials, and the divine.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Through layered gestures and evolving forms, abstract marks gradually emerge into figurative imagery, reflecting her interest in discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary. Her artistic practice invites viewers to look beyond surface appearances and consider realities that extend beyond what is immediately visible.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>How Unexpected, on display June 5-July 26, is curated by Art and Art History Professor, Benjamin Terry, and hosted by the Arlington Museum of Art.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The Exhibition's reception will be Thursday, June 18, from 6-8 p.m.</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Originally from Sweden, Stenhammar left a midlife career as a medical doctor to pursue her passion for art-making. She is currently based in Fort Worth, Texas, with her family and is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at UTA.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Stenhammar’s work investigates transformation, materiality, and transcendence through painting, sculpture, and collage. Working intuitively with unstretched canvas, wood panels, acrylic and latex paint, charcoal, found materials, and hand-built ceramics, she approaches art-making as an encounter between herself, the materials, and the divine.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Through layered gestures and evolving forms, abstract marks gradually emerge into figurative imagery, reflecting her interest in discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary. Her artistic practice invites viewers to look beyond surface appearances and consider realities that extend beyond what is immediately visible.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>How Unexpected, on display June 5-July 26, is curated by Art and Art History Professor, Benjamin Terry, and hosted by the Arlington Museum of Art.</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Originally from Sweden, Stenhammar left a midlife career as a medical doctor to pursue her passion for art-making. She is currently based in Fort Worth, Texas, with her family and is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at UTA.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Stenhammar’s work investigates transformation, materiality, and transcendence through painting, sculpture, and collage. Working intuitively with unstretched canvas, wood panels, acrylic and latex paint, charcoal, found materials, and hand-built ceramics, she approaches art-making as an encounter between herself, the materials, and the divine.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Through layered gestures and evolving forms, abstract marks gradually emerge into figurative imagery, reflecting her interest in discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary. Her artistic practice invites viewers to look beyond surface appearances and consider realities that extend beyond what is immediately visible.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>How Unexpected, on display June 5-July 26, is curated by Art and Art History Professor, Benjamin Terry, and hosted by the Arlington Museum of Art.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The Exhibition's reception will be Thursday, June 18, from 6-8 p.m.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Originally from Sweden, Stenhammar left a midlife career as a medical doctor to pursue her passion for art-making. She is currently based in Fort Worth, Texas, with her family and is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at UTA.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Stenhammar’s work investigates transformation, materiality, and transcendence through painting, sculpture, and collage. Working intuitively with unstretched canvas, wood panels, acrylic and latex paint, charcoal, found materials, and hand-built ceramics, she approaches art-making as an encounter between herself, the materials, and the divine.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Through layered gestures and evolving forms, abstract marks gradually emerge into figurative imagery, reflecting her interest in discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary. Her artistic practice invites viewers to look beyond surface appearances and consider realities that extend beyond what is immediately visible.</p>

<p>How Unexpected, on display June 5-July 26, is curated by Art and Art History Professor, Benjamin Terry, and hosted by the Arlington Museum of Art.</p>

<p> </p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Originally from Sweden, Stenhammar left a midlife career as a medical doctor to pursue her passion for art-making. She is currently based in Fort Worth, Texas, with her family and is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at UTA.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Stenhammar’s work investigates transformation, materiality, and transcendence through painting, sculpture, and collage. Working intuitively with unstretched canvas, wood panels, acrylic and latex paint, charcoal, found materials, and hand-built ceramics, she approaches art-making as an encounter between herself, the materials, and the divine.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Through layered gestures and evolving forms, abstract marks gradually emerge into figurative imagery, reflecting her interest in discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary. Her artistic practice invites viewers to look beyond surface appearances and consider realities that extend beyond what is immediately visible.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>How Unexpected, on display June 5-July 26, is curated by Art and Art History Professor, Benjamin Terry, and hosted by the Arlington Museum of Art.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The Exhibition's reception will be Thursday, June 18, from 6-8 p.m.</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Originally from Sweden, Stenhammar left a midlife career as a medical doctor to pursue her passion for art-making. She is currently based in Fort Worth, Texas, with her family and is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at UTA.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Stenhammar’s work investigates transformation, materiality, and transcendence through painting, sculpture, and collage. Working intuitively with unstretched canvas, wood panels, acrylic and latex paint, charcoal, found materials, and hand-built ceramics, she approaches art-making as an encounter between herself, the materials, and the divine.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Through layered gestures and evolving forms, abstract marks gradually emerge into figurative imagery, reflecting her interest in discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary. Her artistic practice invites viewers to look beyond surface appearances and consider realities that extend beyond what is immediately visible.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>How Unexpected, on display June 5-July 26, is curated by Art and Art History Professor, Benjamin Terry, and hosted by the Arlington Museum of Art.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The Exhibition's reception will be Thursday, June 18, from 6-8 p.m.</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Originally from Sweden, Stenhammar left a midlife career as a medical doctor to pursue her passion for art-making. She is currently based in Fort Worth, Texas, with her family and is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at UTA.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Stenhammar’s work investigates transformation, materiality, and transcendence through painting, sculpture, and collage. Working intuitively with unstretched canvas, wood panels, acrylic and latex paint, charcoal, found materials, and hand-built ceramics, she approaches art-making as an encounter between herself, the materials, and the divine.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Through layered gestures and evolving forms, abstract marks gradually emerge into figurative imagery, reflecting her interest in discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary. Her artistic practice invites viewers to look beyond surface appearances and consider realities that extend beyond what is immediately visible.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>How Unexpected, on display June 5-July 26, is curated by Art and Art History Professor, Benjamin Terry, and hosted by the Arlington Museum of Art.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The Exhibition's reception will be Thursday, June 18, from 6-8 p.m.</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Originally from Sweden, Stenhammar left a midlife career as a medical doctor to pursue her passion for art-making. She is currently based in Fort Worth, Texas, with her family and is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at UTA.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Stenhammar’s work investigates transformation, materiality, and transcendence through painting, sculpture, and collage. Working intuitively with unstretched canvas, wood panels, acrylic and latex paint, charcoal, found materials, and hand-built ceramics, she approaches art-making as an encounter between herself, the materials, and the divine.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Through layered gestures and evolving forms, abstract marks gradually emerge into figurative imagery, reflecting her interest in discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary. Her artistic practice invites viewers to look beyond surface appearances and consider realities that extend beyond what is immediately visible.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>How Unexpected, on display June 5-July 26, is curated by Art and Art History Professor, Benjamin Terry, and hosted by the Arlington Museum of Art.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The Exhibition's reception will be Thursday, June 18, from 6-8 p.m.</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Whether it’s barely meeting the minimum word/page count, not meeting the professor’s expectations, or just struggling to develop one’s argument further, many students struggle with deepening their analysis in papers. This workshop is aimed at examining drafts of papers that lack concrete or in-depth analysis and considering instructor/peer feedback, and then demonstrating how students can employ their own critical thinking and communication skills to enhance and strengthen their arguments and analysis in writing.</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>

This is an integral part of an artist’s mindset and frequently drives their practice and personal style of artmaking. The word “state” is also used to reference a particular territory or region, and in the DFW metroplex, that can only mean one thing - Texas. These two concepts support the theme of the Spring 2026 exhibition that revolves around Texas artists and the sense of unique individualism that comes from a combination of these elements to form the phrase State of Mind.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Highlighted are several artworks from the Charles T. Williams Memorial Collection. Considered to be one of the first significant modern sculptors in Texas, Williams was known for innovative abstract forms that veered away from the popular art styles of Realism and Regionalism that depicted the human experience in more life-like and easily recognizable ways during the early and mid-20th century. Among the collection are several of Williams’ contemporaries, including Roy Fridge, Jim Love, Gene Owens, and Ed Storms. Williams himself is featured in the UTA Public Art Collection, and his sculpture Terminal Trio stands in front of the north façade of the Fine Art Building.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Also on view are a series of paintings and prints from both historical and contemporary artists of Texas. Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these artists and their works. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Monday, February 2 – Thursday, August 20; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Visual Resource Collections &amp; Gallery, Ste. 2109, Fine Arts Building, 2nd floor.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exhibition launch will be held in coordination with the opening reception for The Gallery at UTA’s spring exhibition, If You Could See What I See: A New Generation Explores Texas Art, on Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A panel discussion will be held at 11 a.m. and refreshments will be served 12-2 p.m.</p>
