The University of Colorado Boulder's Department of Art and Art History has announced a series of spring events, including the 'Art History Showcase' featuring scholarship by Tylyn King, Bella Malherbe, and Felicity Wong. The program also highlights the second group of the 2026 MFA Thesis Exhibition featuring Ethan Cherry, Brionna Garcia, and Cal Young, alongside a visiting artist lecture by Rutgers professor Barbara Madsen and a symposium on Black Queer Aesthetics.
These events represent the culmination of the academic year for student researchers and practitioners, providing a platform for emerging talent to engage with the public. By hosting diverse programming—ranging from environmental field schools to discussions on queer aesthetics—the institution reinforces the intersection of academic scholarship, studio practice, and contemporary social discourse within the regional art ecosystem.
