Mary Gilbert-Zyats
BFA '22
“If you are interested in learning from the best fine artists in the community, UArts is the place for you. Your teachers are the smartest connections you can make as a young artist, and they are always going to look out for your best interests.”
Mary is a Philadelphia-based visual and performing artist. She is a senior in the fine arts program at UArts; pursuing a BFA with an emphasis in Printmaking. She has exhibited in student-based exhibitions such as Here I Am, Gershman Chapel; as well as an exhibition for select scholarship recipients. She has taken courses both at the University of the Arts, Yale University, and recently returned from studying abroad at the Santa Reparata International School of Art in Florence, Italy. She continues to study at the University of the Arts in her last semester. Her time in the fine arts, crafts, and music programs have given her a wealth of knowledge into a variety of different artistic fields, regardless of her chosen major, something that most other universities would not have entertained. The connections Mary has made in the city of Philadelphia, as well as the university itself, will last a lifetime. Being in a hub of such artistic achievement gives rise to wonderful opportunities and creations for any student, artist, or otherwise.
