MAY 27, 2022 — The UTSA College of Liberal and Fine Arts (COLFA) today shared an update on its Tactical Visioning exercise relative to the ongoing merger of the Southwest School of Art (SSA) with UTSA.
With the merger set to come to completion over the summer, COLFA is introducing a “UTSA Arts” initiative – an overarching institutional re-commitment to arts education and enterprise for San Antonio and the South Texas region.
This initiative will culminate with the creation of UTSA ARTS, an institute for the community-engaged arts, a new school of music, and a new school of arts that will combine resources from both UTSA and SSA.
“As South Texas’ newest R1 HSI, it is incumbent on UTSA to remain a significant enabler of creative expression in the region throughout the lifespan,” said COLFA Dean Glenn Martínez. “The UTSA Arts initiative will bolster the existing connections between UTSA and the artistic community of San Antonio while also building and sustaining new connections.”
