You're invited to Printrospective 2026, an exhibition celebrating the creativity and craftsmanship of printmaking students at Texas A&M University-Kingsville.

Event Details

Printrospective 2026
Date: Wednesday, April 29th
Time: 2:00 PM
Location: 3rd Floor, Jernigan Library Commons Area

As the inaugural year of Printrospective, the event is designed to highlight both the artistic achievements of students and the process behind the work they create.

The featured exhibition will include artwork produced by Texas A&M University-Kingsville printmaking students throughout the 2025-2026 school year. Guests will have the opportunity to view a range of pieces that reflect the students’ technical skills, artistic development, and personal approaches to the medium.

In addition to the exhibition itself, Printrospective 2026 will offer print demonstrations that show examples of printmaking techniques in action. These demos are intended to give visitors a better understanding of how prints are made and the kinds of processes students use in their practice.

For those unfamiliar with printmaking, this will be a chance to experience the art form beyond the finished piece and gain insight into the hands-on methods that bring each work to life.

The event aims to create an inviting atmosphere for a wide audience. Students, faculty, families, local community members, and anyone with an interest in art are encouraged to attend. Since admission is free, Printrospective 2026 offers an accessible opportunity to experience student work up close while also supporting emerging artists at the university.

'Detainment'
Serigraph
11 x 13 in
2025

Grateful to have my piece 'Detainment' featured in the Rising Eyes of Texas exhibition at the Rockport Center for the Arts.

This serigraph uses monarch butterflies and barbed wire to explore themes of migration, restraint, and belonging. Reflecting on immigration as both a lived experience and a constructed system shaped by policy and documentation.

Thank you to my professor ( ) for sharing this opportunity and for coming to support, thank you to my best buddy for always supporting me, and thank you to the Rockport Center for the Arts ( ) for accepting my work into the exhibition.

Last weekend, the 12th Annual Steamroller Prints Event took place downtown Kingsville during the Ranch Hand Festival. The printmaking class along with the Javelina Printmaking Club and volunteers took part in the event by producing wood blocks to be printed live during the event with a steamroller. In addition, students were tasked with printing blocks from 10 visiting artists from around the state.

The event drew large crowds in the early morning until it began to rain mid afternoon. The printing was moved to the back courtyard where blocks were inked and printed by hand using barens fabricated by our department chair, Todd Lucas.

Despite the setback, the event was a success thanks to the hard work and dedication of our students who demonstrated the true spirit of what it means to be a part of Javelina Nation.

Special thanks to Mary Lou Gonzalez and Can-Go Insurance for providing the space which allowed for the event to take place and continue each year.
