The University of Arizona: Prism Week Art Showcase

Optics For All will be hosting an art gallery and an open mic night to showcase art made by the community! The theme of this event is Multi-faceted Identities in Optical Science. This is a chance for everyone to express themselves, their identity, or culture through their favorite art form and share with their peers. The goal is to celebrate artistic creativity, multi-facetedness and individuality within our college. You can also express how your identity intersects with your experiences in the field or your research in optical sciences.
Throughout Prism week, there will be an art gallery in Meinel room 401 (The Grad Lounge) where students, faculty, and staff can display their art and the gallery will be available for viewing throughout the week. There is also an option to display photography or digital art on the TV outside of the grad lounge. On Thursday evening, April 16th, at 5 PM, OFA will host an open mic night where any member of the community can perform, sharing their art in the form of singing, poetry, comedy, spoken word, etc.
