Points of Pride

We hate to toot our own horn, but Points of Pride highlights the achievements our Students, Faculty and Staff are gaining in their fields.

For studio art major Mario Villanueva, each stroke of his brush speaks about human feelings and experiences, not just colors and shapes.

Mario Villanueva - Studio Art

The School of Art and Design

Promotes the understanding of art in culture by providing a learning environment that advances students’ critical and creative thinking, encourages diverse perspectives and nurtures individual artistic expression.

The School of Journalism and Mass Communication

Is one of the most innovative journalism and mass communication programs in the nation. They are accredited by the Accrediting Council for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication, which signifies excellence and commitment to high standards in professional journalism and mass communication education.

The Wittlif Collection

The Wittliff Collections, housed in Texas State’s Alkek Library, include the Southwestern Writers Collection, which preserves and exhibits the literary papers and artifacts and is the largest archive of modern and contemporary Mexican photography in the United States.

Performing Arts Center

With instructional space as well as design and production spaces, the Performing Arts Center is well equipped to meet the educational and artistic production needs of our academic units. The 69,122-square-foot facility features two professional-quality performance venues. Sitting at the intersection of University Drive and Moon Street, the Performing Arts Center serves as the new front door to the campus.

The University Galleries

The University Galleries are physically located within the School of Art and Design on the 2nd floor of JCM. These sister spaces – with their 18’ ceilings and atrium lobby – provide over 3,000 square feet of museum quality exhibition space. The galleries, which are used separately for individual exhibitions and in tandem for combined exhibitions, will be host to a total of 16 varied exhibitions throughout the Fall and Spring semesters.
