UC Davis art professor Beatriz Cortez has been invited to participate in the prestigious Venice Biennale arts and culture showcase, marking the first time in 40 years a current faculty member has been tapped for the honor.
Cortez’s participation continues the university’s rich legacy of innovation, exceptional teaching and practice of the arts. She joins the ranks of art department faculty including William T. Wiley (1972 and 1980) and Roy De Forest (1980), to exhibit at the world-renowned exhibition. The Biennale list was announced earlier this month.
