Arts Expected May 1, 2020
ArtsUnexpected 2019
ArtsUnexpected was an all-day and evening arts extravaganza at various locations on the UNM campus, surrounding community and in downtown Albuquerque. Check out last year’s video to give you an idea of what you missed. In the past the weather had given our students some unexpected challenges but that is all a part of what makes this day full of surprises.
Last year was a beautiful day. In its 6th year, it continues to showcase the talented students of the College of Fine Arts. A sincere thank you to all participants of the 2019 ArtsUnexcepted event. Look for more information for this year’s ArtsEXPECTED on Friday, May 1, 2020.
