Message from Dean Milnes

Dear Friends of CVAD, The spring semester at CVAD promises to be an eventful and creative one. The fabulous Nick Cave performances and exhibition are coming up in March and we have 200 CVAD students and volunteers, 60 dancers and 100 musicians from UNT

working on this project with him. Kudos to UNT ArtGalleries Gallery Director Tracee Robertson for coordinating this extravaganza for us! As you will see in this issue of Stories from the Avant-Garde, the spring calendar is full of student and faculty shows on and off campus. The UNTArtGallery, the Lightwell and North Galleries in the Art Building, Cora Stafford Gallery in Oak Street Hall, the Student Union Gallery, Fashion on Main, and UNT on the Square

provide well over 100 exhibitions on campus and in our community each year. CVAD faculty, students, and alumni are also fully engaged in exhibiting and presenting their work around the world, while we bring artists, scholars, and designers from around the world to CVAD each year.

This edition of Stories provides a preliminary calendar of events for the spring. Please save it for reference and join us as we celebrate the accomplishments of our students, graduates, and faculty! You can find daily about our events on our website at art.unt.edu. Please help us continue this great work by contributing to CVAD, or volunteering your time to help us enhance our offerings! Have a great spring!
