The Gallery at UTA is pleased to present Introductions featuring artwork and scholarly research by three recent additions/promotions to the full-time faculty of the Art & Art History Department. Over its thirty-six-year history, The Gallery at UTA has periodically scheduled this type of small group exhibition to introduce art and design professors so that students, the University community, and the public can learn about the creative talents in their midst.

This year, two of the exhibitors, art historian Dr. Fletcher Coleman, and intermedia studio artist Yana Payusova, joined the faculty as tenure-track assistant professors in fall 2020. One of the artists, filmmaker Patty Newton, has been teaching here for some time, but was recently promoted to assistant professor of practice.

We celebrate the accomplishments of all the artist/educators showcased this year as they bring their diverse technical skills, creative energy, and conceptual rigor to the local visual art and design community.
