DU Alumni Artists, 1987-2025

On view January 22 – February 22, 2026

The Davis Gallery and DU’s School of Art and Art History are proud to present “Journeys: DU Alumni Artists, 1987- 2025” featuring over 20 artists who studied under acclaimed artist and long-time DU painting professor Deborah Howard who will retire at the end of this year. Since joining the University of Denver in 1987, Deborah has inspired generations of artists and, in turn, found inspiration through teaching and collaboration with students, which she describes as the wellspring of her most meaningful work.

This exhibition runs concurrently with a survey exhibition of Deborah’s work on view in DU’s Vicki Myhren Gallery (January 15 through March 15, 2026).
