We have been in shock this past week with the shuttering of an institution that has played an enormous role in the history of OFF THE WALL and in the culture and community of DIRTY FRANK'S. We feel for — and stand with — the gifted faculty who are left without jobs and without the students they love to inspire and nurture and even more the students who came here to kindle dreams and are, for the moment, left with ashes. The decisions and governance that led to this bitter end are unconscionable and our creative community suffers from a void that must be filled. Stay tuned for details about a juried show we will organize to recognize the visual artists of UArts. Their work lives on and deserves our attention and support now.
