For “April is for the Arts,” the UAB College of Arts and Sciences highlights the extraordinary talent from across the college’s fine art academic units for a month of events.
The BFA exhibition is one of the UAB Department of Art and Art History’s premier events, culminating with a free closing reception Friday, April 28.
The UAB Institute for Human Rights presents W. Jake Newsome, Ph.D., whose book traces the transformation of the pink triangle from a Nazi concentration camp badge and emblem of discrimination into a global symbol of pride.
The all-department concert will feature faculty and student performances, including solo and ensemble, choral, symphonic, piano, voice, percussion, chamber music, gospel, and more.
The National Endowment for the Arts has awarded UAB Arts in Medicine a research grant to study whether magic arts training can help improve motor and social-emotional function.
