Hosted at the Bonfire Memorial, which respectfully commemorates the tradition, history and spirit of Bonfire, we come together to honor the memory of each student.

Exhibition on Display: Sept. 9–Dec. 14, 2025 Tues.–Fri. 9 a.m.–8 p.m.; Sat.–Sun. Noon–6 p.m. Since 1989 when the Runyon family donated a fantastic collection of 19th and 20th century art and decorative art, the Forsyth Galleries has set about amassing a fantastic collection that we enjoy sharing with the community. Those who love and appreciate the collection have, in turn, donated or loaned a significant number of items including paperweights, Asian art, early American pewter, American Brilliant Cut Crystal, 19th century quilts, small furniture items, as well as additional paintings, works on paper and art glass. This exhibition celebrates their generosity and, we hope, will inspire others to share their treasures with the University. THANK YOU! To inquire about donating works of late 19th and early 20th art or to make a contribution to the Forsyth Galleries, contact Assistant Director and Curator Elizabeth Appleby at eappleby@tamu.edu (mailto:eappleby@tamu.edu).

Exhibition on Display: Oct.21–Dec. 13, 2025Gallery HoursTues.–Fri. 9 a.m.–8 p.m.; Sat.–Sun. Noon–6 p.m; Closed Mon. Central to McCraw's work is an integration of personal history and collective identity. Influenced by her childhood experiences in a Chicago tenement and by the creativity and perseverance of her mother, McCraw approaches quilt making as both an act of remembrance and a process of contemporary artistic inquiry. Her vivid use of color, dynamic compositions, and willingness to depart from traditional patterning signal a dialogue between inherited forms and modern expressive strategies. At once deeply personal and broadly resonant, her quilts function as objects of visual culture that bridge the realms of craft, fine art, and community service—underscoring the continued relevance of quilting as a medium of storytelling and cultural expression.
