Texas A&M University Art Galleries will be renamed the Texas A&M University Art Museum, which brings the J. Wayne Stark Galleries and Forsyth Galleries under one identity.
How we got here
According to an Oct. 7 news release, the name change reflects the department’s work in preserving and managing the university’s art collections, as well as its partnerships with faculty for research, education and programming.
The Stark and Forsyth galleries will retain their individual names and current locations in the Memorial Student Center on campus.
“This will allow us to celebrate local creativity alongside historical masterpieces, offering visitors a richer understanding of both our cultural heritage and our present-day artistic landscape,” said Elizabeth Appleby, assistant director of the Texas A&M University Art Museum and curator of the Forsyth Galleries.
