“The UT Tyler studio art program offered really interesting classes that helped me become a more well-rounded artist. We had a class dedicated to developing artists statements and speaking publicly about our work, which greatly contributed to my being awarded a grant as I was finishing my graduate degree.” Kayla received a $12,000 Kahn Career Award to jump-start her career in New York City.
