FOTA Renaissance is a Winter 2023 Gallery Night hosted by the Festival of the Arts. After a brief hiatus, this event brings back art on campus by inviting student artists and audience to interact in a gallery space for two hours. Fourteen student artists' works were shown.

Since the beginning of the school year 2023-2024, I was actively involved in reviving the arts administration RSO, Festival of the Arts. After many months of recruiting, rebuilding, and reorganizing, this event kickstarted a new era of FOTA. With more than 100 attendees, this event rekindled interest and appreciation for art on the University of Chicago campus.
