On April 7, UNT Dallas celebrated student accomplishments in the literary and visual arts at the virtual JAG Arts Celebration. Graduate and undergraduate students in all academic programs of study were invited to submit original works in poetry, prose, or visual arts (in English or Spanish) for a chance to win a cash prize and have their work published in the Daedalus Arts Journal.
