George Vargas papers, 1933-2016 (with gaps), undated

Online

7.6 linear feet (in 8 boxes) — 3.85 GB (online) — 3 oversize folders — 2 tubes — 1 oversize poster — 1 oversize box

University of Michigan graduate (BFA '74, MA '76, and Ph.D. '88) and artist, art historian, and educator with an emphasis in Latino art. Materials include artwork as well as research, teaching, and professional topical files.

The George Vargas papers present a look at the interests, work, and activities of artist and historian George Vargas. The material is dated from approximately 1933-2016 and includes topical files, artwork, and correspondence.

The strength of the collection is found in the numerous lectures written by Vargas, which reveal the depth of his research, the original artwork, and the broader view of multi-cultural and, particularly, Latino art activities in Michigan. Also of note are his extensive files of artists that were of interest to him as well as his own papers and publications.

The researcher should note that many items in the collection overlap various series. As a result, researchers should—in addition to reviewing multiple series—be sure to look for the "see also" notes that help identify some of these overlaps.

The second series, Conferences and Exhibitions (1.8 linear feet and online digital material), consists of three subseries.

The first subseries, Michigan Art Announcements and Publications (0.2 linear feet), holds materials from a number of Michigan art shows and art organizations, and adds to the broad perspective of art activities in Michigan.

The next subseries, Individual Conferences and Exhibitions (1.4 linear feet and online digital material), goes on to document individual art shows and conferences, by date, in Michigan and beyond which George Vargas was involved with either as an artist, administrator, or supporter. Those conferences at which Vargas gave lectures are noted for some files.

The final subseries, Other Conferences and Exhibitions (0.2 linear feet), includes collected material about exhibitions and conferences outside of Michigan with no direct connection to Vargas.
