rage dialogue, learning, and aesthetic engagement. Located within the School of Art and Design in the Joann Cole Mitte (JCM) building, the Galleries features a dynamic schedule of exhibitions and events throughout the academic year, featuring emerging and established artists alongside faculty, student, and alumni work. By presenting work not always readily available in the region and fostering exchange through exhibitions, lectures, and workshops, TXST Galleries serves as a platform for contemporary art, ideas, and community connection—locally grounded and nationally engaged, while participating in broader global conversations.
