The 2026 Senior Art Exhibition, Proof of Life, includes artworks by 62 graduating BFA and BA students in the Department of Art and Art History. The exhibition presents a range of media, including painting, drawing, print, sculpture, video, and photography, and celebrates the years of work each student dedicated to their artistic practices while at UT. Proof of Life acts as a means to reflect on this time and look to the future for the graduating class in the Department of Art and Art History.
