Imagine walking through the art galleries of UT Tyler, every wall adorned with the innovative creations of budding artists. That's the experience we take you through as Mike Landess chats with Merrie Wright, the Art and Art History Department chair at UT Tyler. Merrie guides us through the labyrinth of art education at the university, highlighting the dual-purpose nature of its three galleries. These spaces are not just platforms for students to exhibit their talent, but also serve as a connection to the wider art world, with faculty exhibitions, juried international shows, and works from visiting artists.Venturing deeper, we discuss the MA and MFA programs, focusing on the recent capstone exhibition by Master of Arts candidate, Lisa Horlander. But what's the real-world application of an art degree? Merrie breaks down the broad spectrum of opportunities, emphasizing the importance of creativity in education. We explore success stories, particularly that of Rachel Anthony, a former student who’s now the coordinator at the Tyler Museum of Art. Join us for this immersive journey and witness the power of art education and the doors it can open.(Show notes are automatically generated and may contain phonetic spellings and other spelling and punctuation errors.
