Jordan Roth ('98) opened Ro2 Art in Dallas in 2009 with his mother, Susan Roth Romans, as a contemporary art gallery to support artists in all types of visual media. The gallery received the 2012 Obelisk Award from the North Texas Business Council for the Arts, which honors partnerships between arts and businesses. Roth says he is committed to exhibit the area's most talked-about artists.

"Being an alumnus, I'm proud when we have the chance to show someone from UNT," he says.
