Fall 2022

Through shivers of delight to weeping through wretchedness, the arts can create connections between people who may have very little else in common. Being moved by the story playing out on the stage, singing a favorite song with thousands of strangers or discussing— and enjoying—the same book unites people creating community.

In these stories, UT’s faculty and alumni do more than just make music or create worlds. They generate moments of connection, whether through sorrow or delight. And some even do more, whether it’s working with the autistic or teaching a new language. Across our campuses and institutes, faculty, students and alumni create music, prints, paintings, pottery, dance, poetry, vistas and so much more. Let us take the time to drop into galleries, dance in our kitchens, devour art in all of its forms and so enrich our souls.
