Lucinda Breeding: Fruitful spring for UNT artists
The University of North Texas College of Visual Arts and Design has long gotten kudos for certain programs, such as the painting and drawing program and the metals program. For the past several years, the school’s fashion design program has stepped it up. In 2006, the program hosted  “Art of Fashion,” a major event that put prize-winning student de­signs on the runway in Denton — as well as designs by the up-and-coming French designer Julien Dossena.

Lucinda Breeding: Harpistry with heavy measure of mettle
Occasionally, you have to encounter art in a different context to understand the genius of its source. This happened most powerfully for me when I saw the Houston Ballet’s Rooster in the late 1990s. I’d grown up listening to oldies, and I was no stranger to the Rolling Stones. The ballet’s associate choreographer Christopher Bruce depicted the mating rituals of hip Londoners in the 1960s, all to music by the Rolling Stones.
