Art Roundup from the UA Dept. of Art and Art History: today is Wednesday, October 20, 2021. That October nip is slipping away but left a long line of art shows behind! As always, check open hours with your favorite gallery — and get your vaccinations! Galleries, museums and art events can stay open if we are vaccinated, masked and healthy, so please do your part. Events are listed in order of ending date. Thanks to Juan Lopez-Bautista for the image above. And thank you for continuing to support your local artists wherever you can.
