FORT WORTH, Texas — Prime Cuts, an exhibition featuring the innovative art of 14 North Texas graduate students, continues at Tarrant County College Trinity River through March 6.
The exhibit highlights talent from Texas Christian University, the University of North Texas, the University of Texas at Arlington and the University of Texas at Dallas.
The opening reception takes place Saturday, Feb. 7, 11 a.m.-2 p.m. in the Trinity River East Fork Gallery. At noon, a panel discussion on being an artist will explore how to get your work seen by galleries and the various paths that are possible in the visual arts. Jeronimo Aviles, TCC director of student success and advising, will answer questions about the Arts and Humanities Pathway program at the College.
“This exhibit is important because it will provide various examples of how art is part of everyday life,” said art Professor Angel Fernandez. “Arts and humanities are essential in giving us a way to express and comment on issues that are of paramount importance.”
Fort Worth-based artist Ariel Davis curated the exhibit. Davis has exhibited across the state in more than 35 exhibitions and co-organized more than 100 art events while serving in leadership roles with Art Tooth, Artspace111 and Artspace111 Consulting partnerships with other organizations.
