Water Valley Artist Society Show Opens at ASU
Angelo State University is hosting a group art exhibition by the Water Valley Artist Society through July 18 in the Carr Education-Fine Arts Bldg., 2602 Dena Drive on the ASU campus.
Titled “Visionary,” the exhibit is open for free public viewing from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays in the Carr EFA Building’s Gallery 193.
The show includes a variety of art pieces ranging from drawings, paintings and prints to mixed-media paintings and sculptures.
The Water Valley Artist Society is made up of junior high and high school artists in the Water Valley Independent School District. The purpose of the exhibition is to share the art programs’ multi-level approaches to making art, as well as to further the content and conversation concerning the artworks to the surrounding community.
“Visionary” fuses visual artistic study with poetry and narrative writings, along with adherence to process and content-driven artistic studies to connect the works to critical thinking and visual problem solving. The programs’ art instructor, Christopher Voss, curated the exhibition at the invitation of Randy Hall, professor of art and coordinator of the ASU art program.
ASU Inks MOUs With Partner Entities
Angelo State University has signed five Memorandums of Understanding with Goodfellow Air Force Base, Howard College and the San Angelo Independent School District to increase educational cooperation through several distinctive programs.
Four of the MOUs are to renew existing partnership programs, and one is for a new transfer agreement between Angelo State and GAFB.
“These partnership agreements further solidify the already strong relationships between Angelo State and each of San Angelo’s other primary educational entities,” said ASU President Ronnie Hawkins. “When professionals from the different levels and arenas of academia share their expertise and work together toward common goals, the inevitable results are innovations and enhancements that benefit all of us, as well as the community. Each of these agreements is a win-win for all the parties involved.”
The new transfer agreement MOU will allow GAFB students who have completed the U.S. Air Force enlisted intelligence training in qualifying for an Air Force Specialty Code to transfer up to six credit hours into any of the bachelor’s degree programs in ASU’s Department of Security Studies and Criminal Justice. It expands on an existing agreement that allows Air Force officers who have completed the 14N Intelligence Course to transfer credits into ASU security studies and criminal justice master’s degree programs, and it will run for four years.
