Quarter Turn: Faculty Biennial

The Art Museum of South Texas presents Quarter Turn: 2025 TAMU-CC ART + DESIGN FACULTY- 9th BIENNIAL EXHIBITION. The exhibition’s title carries dual significance: 2025 marks the quarter-century point of the 21st century, making it an ideal moment to reflect on artistic transformation and evolution. “Quarter Turn” represents those pivotal moments when artists make deliberate, measured shifts in their creative practice—not dramatic reversals, but thoughtful recalibrations that honor the past while embracing new possibilities.

Each participating faculty member examines a significant pivot point in their artistic journey, presenting paired artworks that document their transformation alongside reflective statements exploring these moments of change. Through this intimate exploration of creative evolution, visitors witness how breakthrough moments often emerge from strategic redirections rather than complete departures, revealing the courage required for artistic growth and development.

Quarter Turn offers South Texas audiences an unprecedented glimpse into the creative process, showcasing the diverse practices of TAMUU-CC’s faculty across traditional and contemporary mediums. As both the 9th biennial faculty exhibition and a quarter-century milestone, it contributes to ongoing documentation of regional artistic development while illuminating universal themes of growth, resilience, and adaptation within individual creative practice.

The exhibition will come to fruition with a full-color catalogue, designed by Nancy Miller, MFA Program Coordinator Associate Professor: Communication Design, TAMU-CC.

On Friday September 12, from noon – 2pm the artists will speak at Art UnBoxed. Please RSVP for a lunch by September 8^th, 5pm, by visiting the calendar page here, or RSVP for lunch by calling Allie Lammers at 361 825 3504.
