July 29, 2026
The Arts Center of Brazos Valley is displaying artwork from the Texas A&M University Art Galleries’ permanent collection in an exhibit running through Aug. 22, with a guided tour scheduled for Aug. 12 at 4 p.m.
The show, titled From the Vaults: Artwork From the University Art Museum Collection, is a collaboration between the Arts Center and Texas A&M Art Galleries. John Spriggins, of the Texas A&M Art Galleries, curated the exhibit.
Leslie Bowlin, executive director of the Arts Center of Brazos Valley, said the partnership grew out of a visit to the university’s gallery spaces and vault holdings.
“I had the opportunity to go into the vaults and see what they had, which was truly amazing,” Bowlin said. “I asked him if he would mind very much if we did a kind of a joint collaboration and it’s more than a pop-up. It’s a full-blown exhibit.”
