University Programs

Art is All Around Us! Public Art is a pillar of academic and student life at the UH System campuses. Our university programs offer opportunities to engage directly with artworks and artists through tours, workshops, public programs, and hands-on learning.

Whether you are faculty interested in adding public art to your syllabus or a student club leader looking to schedule a tour for your group, please reach out! E-mail us at pauhsEDU@uh.edu or fill out our Group Visit Request Form.

We also offer a limited number of work-study positions, academic internships and paid graduate assistantships for UH System students on a semester and yearly basis. Please view our Opportunities page or send an e-mail to pauhsEDU@uh.edu to inquire about available positions.
