Art Roundup from the UA Dept. of Art and Art History: today is Wednesday, March 30, 2022. Sometimes Art Night and First Friday trade places and they’re doing it in April with First Friday on April 1 and Art Night on April 7. But there’ll be the same exciting events, listed below. Galleries (and everyone) 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 Julia Brock and Flow Tuscaloosa for the images above. And thank you for continuing to support artists wherever you can. Subscribe here and forward this to a friend!

Very occasionally, non-profit events asking for a nominal entry fee or donation will be included. Follow the links to get more information.
