The Heart of the Arts at UTRGV

Welcome to a new season in the College of Fine Arts at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley! This year, we are excited about connecting better with the people of the Rio Grande Valley. One way we are doing this is through a rebranding of arts events as UTRGV Arts, an umbrella that covers the arts events that you see on this website.

Here you can sign up to receive up-to-date program information, purchase tickets online, and see a library of still and motion pictures of past events in one convenient place.

We are also reinvigorating our Patron of the Arts program that will allow you the opportunity to support our arts events through tiers of sponsorship with benefits to attend our many events. Stay tuned for an opportunity to invest in the arts and the amazing students of UTRGV!
