The light sculpture "This Present Moment" -- created by Alicia Eggert, an associate professor and coordinator for the sculpture program in the UNT College of Visual Arts and Design — has been acquired by the Smithsonian American Art Museum's Renwick Gallery in Washington, D.C. The acquisition by the Smithsonian marks a career first for Eggert. "This Present Moment" will debut at the Renwick Gallery as part of the museum's 50th anniversary exhibition in 2022.
