Facilities

The visual arts programs are housed in five major facilities on the UNT campus as well as exhibition facilities in Dallas and Ft. Worth. The 90,000-square-foot Art Building includes classrooms for art history, art education and design courses; computer laboratories; studios for drawing and painting, jewelry and metals, and sculpture; resource rooms for art education, communication design, and interior design; a lighting laboratory; the University Art Gallery, a visual resources library, faculty and administrative offices and a 4,400-square-foot fabrication workshop. Oak Street Hall houses classrooms and studios for the photography and ceramics programs, the Print Research Institute of North Texas (P.R.I.N.T. Press) graduate student studios, and the Cora Stafford Gallery, a student art gallery. Scoular Hall houses classrooms and studios for the fashion and fibers programs and the Texas Fashion Collection, a collection of more than fourteen thousand garments that preserves the legacy of twentieth-century couture fashion. Hickory Hall houses a dedicated communication design computer facility, an intermedia classroom, printmaking studios, and a graduate metals workshop. Additional graduate studios are available in Kendall Hall and multimedia lectures are scheduled in the Eagle Student Center.

The School of Visual Arts operates two exhibition spaces off campus. The first, the UNTartspaceFW, is located in the UNT Health Center, directly across from the Kimball and Amon Carter Museums on Camp Bowie Avenue in Ft. Worth. The gallery exhibits work by UNT students, faculty, and alumni. On September 21, 2006 we will be opening a new exhibition facility for the Texas Fashion Collection at the University Center at 1901 Main Street in downtown Dallas.
