Upcoming Events
Inspired by Jefrey Gibson’s Because Once You Enter My House It Becomes Our House and Mary Sully’s Personality Patterns, Contemporary Issues in Print students have created a site-specific wheat-pasted installation at the Visual Arts Center. Each artist has printed an edition of 50 risograph prints that use patterns to create self-portraits, exploring themes of longing, femininity, heritage, speculative futures, and loss, among others.
We invite you to join us for an information session with leadership from the program.

Transcendence: A Century of Black Queer Ecstasy, through a variety of media, highlights visual representations of Black queer ecstasy from the last 100 years that surpass its absence from the historical record. Centering Blackness and queerness allows this exhibition to consider the potential of queer perspectives around the paradoxes of pleasure and pain, excess and lack, and autonomy and dependence.
Blackland Prairies borrows its title from the name given to the fertile ecoregion that stretches from Texas’ northeastern edge to the center of the state, encompassing historically Black regions of Austin. The ecological qualities of this area—its access to fresh water from the Colorado River and rich clay soil—served as a site for generations of Black Texans to construct homes, establish churches and schools, and maintain agriculture. Over time, and through the efforts of segregationist city planners, urban developers, and profit-motivated investors, this landscape has transformed into a site unrecognizable to those Black communities that called this area home for centuries. Blackland Prairies examines this historical transformation through the lens of Black presence. It juxtaposes archival materials sourced from local collections with works by Texas-born and based artists who demonstrate, through disparate methods, how Black histories, memories, and everyday life are present and intertwined within the city’s geography, history, and culture.
