DESCRIPTION The 39th Annual International Exhibition is a juried visual art competition organized by the Department of Art and Art History at The University of Texas at Tyler. Internationally known artists, curators, and scholars have served as jurors selecting works for exhibition created by some of the best contemporary artists working today. The Department purchases three to six works from the exhibition each year; purchased works are added to our permanent collection. The permanent collection serves as an educational teaching resource; much of the permanent collection is exhibited throughout the UT Tyler main campus.

 

JUROR Brandon Zech. Brandon joined Glasstire, the nonprofit online publication for art in Texas, in 2015 as the publication’s Assistant Editor. In 2018 he began overseeing the publication’s news content as Glasstire’s first dedicated News Editor, and he took over for the site’s founding Publisher in 2019. In addition to lecturing and jurying exhibitions across Texas, Brandon also contributes podcasts and articles to Glasstire. He is a graduate of the University of Houston.
