- All dayThe Art of Texas State ParksFrom the rugged mesas of the Panhandle and the steep-sided mountains of Big Bend Country to the waterways of the Gulf Coast and rolling grasslands of the prairies, visitors will journey through the diverse ecological regions of Texas as interpreted by individual artists. In celebration of 100 years, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department commissioned 30 Texas artists to depict scenes from parks, natural areas and historic sites in the state park system. The selections on view are as varied as the parks themselves and offer a snapshot of Texas' rich history and ecosystems. This exhibition represents the seventh installation in the Texas Art Project (https://uart.tamu.edu/texasartproject/) series.Organized by The Meadows Center for Water and the Environment at Texas State University, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and Stark Galleries.

- All dayThe Toll of Texas Roads on Turtles and SnakesEvery day, millions of animals are killed by cars. Snakes and turtles are especially vulnerable. Though Texas is home to more reptile species than any other state, roads are a leading cause of their decline. This exhibition is curated by Amanda Stronza, professor in Ecology and Conservations Biology, photographer and conservationist; Lee A. Fitzgerald, professor in Ecology and Conservations Biology, conservationist and herpetologist; and Rachel Ivanyi, contemporary nature artist, illustrator, art educator and artist for conservation.
- All dayThe Wit & Whimsy of Victorian MajolicaMajolica was introduced at the Great Exhibition of 1851 and quickly became ubiquitous in Victorian England and America, with works appearing in museum displays and royal palaces as well as in the homes of average citizens. As majolica retailed at a cheaper price than porcelain, it was available to a fairly broad range of society and, in Victorian homes, was commonly found in the conservatory or dining room, in the form of tureens and servers, jardinières, teapots, garden seats, plates, and decorative statues. Initially popular in England and the Continent, many British potters and craftspeople immigrating to North America contributed their knowledge and skill to the growing American pottery industry, leading to the large-scale production of majolica. When the lead glazes needed to achieve majolica's shine and vibrancy were outlawed as poisonous to workers, its production all but ceased. This exhibition helps tell the story of majolica and helps to restore its legacy to the history of design.

- All dayWhat Lies BeneathInfrared imaging is a non-destructive technique used by art conservators to examine paintings and artworks and detect hidden details under the upper layers such as added paint, underdrawings, and hidden signatures or watermarks. The technique has been used to discover details of artists' creative processes, alterations and reworking. Infrared examination also can be used as a tool to differentiate between certain groups of pigments and inks.
- All dayWhat Lies Beneath the BeadsThis exhibition looks to engage patrons in a short history of art in the Cameroonian culture, while also looking at the symbolism of the female form across all ancient civilizations. With a twist of science, we'll take an in-depth look, utilizing computed tomography (CT) scans, to discover how our Cameroonian beaded Fertility Goddesses were constructed and gain a better understanding of their conservation needs. Come by and see What Lies Beneath the Beads…
