Lisa Tamiris Becker pursues artistic breakthroughs at AEIVA

It’s tough to fit UAB’s Abroms-Engel Institute for the Visual Arts (AEIVA) into a single frame. The architecturally striking facility, opened by the UAB College of Arts and Sciences in 2014, is an art museum and an anchor for UAB’s Cultural Corridor. It also houses classrooms and studios for the UAB Department of Art and Art History. For Lisa Tamiris Becker, M.F.A., AEIVA’s founding director, the building is a place of discovery—a research center like no other at UAB.
