Dr. Marcia Klotz – director of UArizona’s Prison Education Project – and UAMA's Curator of Exhibitions Olivia Miller will explore the significance of prison education programs and how the Museum got involved in the Art on the Yard project at Tucson’s prison complex.

April 9, 2020 @ 4:00 p.m. Artist Alejandro Macias' art has been driven by his Mexican-American identity and the current social-political climate. Born and raised in Brownsville, Texas along the U.S./Mexico border, he uses his work to address themes of heritage, immigration and ethnicity, which are set in contrast to his critical engagement with the assimilation and acculturation process often referred to as “Americanization.”
