I wrote a bit about UArts recent closure for Artblog.

Lauren Whearty, an adjunct faculty member at University of the Arts, writes a thoughtful and questioning essay about the future for all who are touched directly or indirectly by the imminent closure of the school (scheduled for June 7, 2024). Summing up her argument that higher education in the arts must change, Lauren says, "We need more art schools and educational communities that cultivate the arts holistically, make education affordable, and work toward making arts education a sustainable necessity, rather than a decoration on Broad Street."
