CANYON, Texas—Dozens of West Texas A&M University student artists will hang their works in an annual joint exhibition with Amarillo College opening April 7 at Amarillo Museum of Art.

The AC/WT Student/Faculty Exhibition will hang through April 23 at the museum, 2200 S. Van Buren St. in Amarillo.

An opening reception will begin at 6:30 pm April 7. Jon Revett, the Doris Alexander Distinguished Professor of Fine Arts and art program director, and Dr. Amy Von Lintel, professor of art history, will lead a gallery talk at 7 pm about the WT works on view, preceded by a 6:45 pm discussion about the AC works.

In all, 59 works by 37 students were chosen by eight WT faculty members to hang in the exhibition.

“This show is the high point of our school year because it the time when show off their students’ hard work,” said Jon Revett, art program director and Doris Alexander Distinguished Professor of Fine Arts. “This year’s selection process was challenging due to the caliber and quality of work submitted, but the selected work is worthy of being exhibited in professional venues like the Amarillo Museum of Art. We are proud to expose our students’ artwork to a larger audience and that there are good things going on in the art program at WT.”

Eight WT faculty members also will hang works in the show: Revett; Rob Weingart, instructor of art; Marcus Melton, associate professor of art; Anna Lemnitzer, assistant professor of art and design; Misty Gamble, assistant professor of 3-D art; Ann Callen, instructor of art; Michael Longhofer, instructor of art; and Dr. Ashley Campbell, WT’s Dr. Helen Piehl Professor of Education, who is auditing a photography class.

The AC/WT joint exhibition has been held regularly since 1972.

“The exhibition showcases the best works from current students and faculty,” said Alex Gregory, AMoA curator of art. “Students learn to prepare work for the exhibition and gain a sense of pride in sharing their work with the community in the professional setting of the museum.”
