AUSTIN, Texas—Texas Applied Arts, a unit within UT's College of Fine Arts, is seeking your assistance and engagement to complete their UT Community Earth Day 50 projects.

By collecting the voices and vision of the UT community as a virtual celebration of Earth Day at 50, their goal is to amplify the intentions and collective sustainability within the UT community, to create a space to gather with one another during this time of isolation, and to bear witness to this essential historic date in our nation’s history.

Introducing UT Austin's first full-time leader of the Green Labs Program, Lindsey Yazbek.

A group of University of Texas at Austin students built the Creek Monster Habitat, an illuminated, interactive installation for the Greenway Conservancy’s 2019 Creek Show. The Creek Monster Habitat was designed and created during the fall 2019 semester by a group of students from across disciplines at UT in a course offered by Texas Applied Arts in the College of Fine Arts and taught by Karen Maness.

Created by a team of students from Texas Applied ARts, the Waller Creek Monster Habitat is one of the light sculptures that make up Waterloo Greenway Conservancy’s Creek Show, which started Nov. 7 at Waller Creek between 9th and 12th streets.
