South Texas College’s Library Art Gallery Program, together with the college’s Visual Arts and Music Department, brings the Rio Grande Valley its annual ceramics exhibition and workshop, "Clear as Mud: A South Texas Ceramic Showdown." All activities are free and open to the public.
The event includes a full display of ceramic works by art students and professors from regional universities and community colleges. The exhibit will be on view from June 3 to August 12, 2013 at the college’s Pecan Campus Art Building Art Gallery, located at 3201 West Pecan Blvd. in McAllen.
A two-day ceramics workshop takes place June 7 from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. and 1:30 - 4:30 p.m. and June 8 at 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. at STC’s Pecan Campus Art Building (Bldg. B) Ceramics Lab, Room 113. Art talks will take place Saturday, June 8 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the same location. An exhibit reception will be held on June 6 in the Visual Arts and Music Gallery and the Pecan Campus Library Art Gallery from 6 to 8 p.m.
Participants will see clay demonstrations by nationally recognized and distinguished ceramicists Kirk Mangus and Billy Ritter.
Mangus earned his Master of Fine Arts from Washington State University. He has been the Head of Ceramics at Kent State University since 1985 and has taught at numerous institutions including the Cleveland Institute of Art, Cranbrook Academy of Art and the University of Georgia Athens Cortona, Italy Program.
Ritter earned his Master of Fine Arts from Kent State University. He currently works as a Ceramics Instructor/Ceramic Lab Technician at the Art House Inc. in Cleveland, Ohio and as a Ceramics Instructor at the Orange Art Center in Pepper Pike, Ohio.
“We are very pleased to have the opportunity to continue with our annual Ceramics Showdown and maintain the presentations from established ceramic artists while hosting an institutional invitational exhibit as well," said Chris Leonard, STC ceramics instructor and exhibit/workshop organizer. “In addition, we are lucky to have a pair of Ohio artists, Kirk Mangus and Billy Ritter, with their own stories and wrinkles pertaining to collaboration, and their own connections to people and places in the Rio Grande Valley. Like many ceramic artists, their work also tells stories, and the work itself, the work ethic and attitudes that formed the work along with Kirk and Billy’s stories and experience will be another shot in the arm for Valley students.”

South Texas College’s Pecan Campus Library proudly presents “Machistas Y Vanidad,” an exhibit featuring artwork by Noel Palmenez. The exhibit opens Thursday, June 6, 2013 with an opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m. Talks with the artist will be held the same day at 2:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. at the Pecan Campus Library Rainbow Room, located at 3201 W. Pecan Blvd. in McAllen. The exhibit will be on view through Friday, Aug. 12. Admission is free and open to the public.
Palmenez’s exhibit titled, “Machistas Y Vanidad” or “Macho and Vanity,” is about one’s exterior, or how we wish for ourselves to be perceived. It also dissects what it means to be “macho.” Palmenez says, “The Machistas greatest weakness is the belief that they know it all, and the fear to ask a question or admit that they are wrong. It is pride that keeps many men from living a more fulfilled life, and the fear of change. What is left is an ego driven young man that is more than willing to take what he wants because there is no alternative.”
As for the role of vanity, though often seen as a negative quality, Palmenez chooses to view it as a great freedom and a way for women to express their identity and fearlessness.
“The time honored roles of men and women are beginning to change,” said Palmenez. “Men are gradually releasing the reigns of authority and letting women be a larger part of what happens within the workings of the world. A new voice is a good change, for it is not tied down to tradition, and a woman’s voice is genuine and real.”
“The subject matter of Palmenez’s exhibit is extremely pertinent to this region,” added STC Art Galley Associate Dawn Haughey. “Although the ‘macho’ or ‘machismo’ attitude can appear in all cultures, it seems to be especially ingrained in many Latino households. This type of mind set has a detrimental effect on families, marriages and children. Palmenez’s work speaks of the evolution of this negative tradition into something positive and hopeful. It is a message that needs to be heard.”
Palmenez earned a Master of Science degree from Texas A&M University and an Masters of Fine Arts from The University of Texas Pan-American in painting, drawing and sculpture. He currently teaches at The University of Texas-Brownsville.

South Texas College’s Pecan Campus Library proudly presents “Machistas Y Vanidad,” an exhibit featuring artwork by Noel Palmenez. The exhibit opens Thursday, June 6, 2013 with an opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m. Talks with the artist will be held the same day at 2:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. at the Pecan Campus Library Rainbow Room, located at 3201 W. Pecan Blvd. in McAllen. The exhibit will be on view through Friday, Aug. 12. Admission is free and open to the public.
Palmenez’s exhibit titled, “Machistas Y Vanidad” or “Macho and Vanity,” is about one’s exterior, or how we wish for ourselves to be perceived. It also dissects what it means to be “macho.” Palmenez says, “The Machistas greatest weakness is the belief that they know it all, and the fear to ask a question or admit that they are wrong. It is pride that keeps many men from living a more fulfilled life, and the fear of change. What is left is an ego driven young man that is more than willing to take what he wants because there is no alternative.”
As for the role of vanity, though often seen as a negative quality, Palmenez chooses to view it as a great freedom and a way for women to express their identity and fearlessness.
“The time honored roles of men and women are beginning to change,” said Palmenez. “Men are gradually releasing the reigns of authority and letting women be a larger part of what happens within the workings of the world. A new voice is a good change, for it is not tied down to tradition, and a woman’s voice is genuine and real.”
“The subject matter of Palmenez’s exhibit is extremely pertinent to this region,” added STC Art Galley Associate Dawn Haughey. “Although the ‘macho’ or ‘machismo’ attitude can appear in all cultures, it seems to be especially ingrained in many Latino households. This type of mind set has a detrimental effect on families, marriages and children. Palmenez’s work speaks of the evolution of this negative tradition into something positive and hopeful. It is a message that needs to be heard.”

Life in the Valley
June 13, 2013 – 6:00 pm
South Texas College’s Technology Campus Library presents “Life in the Valley,” an exhibit featuring photographs by Imanol Miranda. The exhibit opens Thursday, June 13, 2013 with an artist lecture held at 5 p.m., and will be on view through Friday, Aug. 23. The Technology Campus Library is located at 3700 W. Military Hwy. in McAllen. Admission is free and open to the public.
The idea for Miranda’s exhibit stemmed from a photography assignment that he decided to further and expand on, long after his college course had been completed. Intrigued by the amalgamation of cultures within the Rio Grande Valley and bothered by the under representation of this area, Miranda began an independent project photographing life in the Valley. In his first solo exhibition, Miranda has selected images that depict local people working ordinary jobs, in an effort to highlight those who may risk social exclusion.
“Miranda’s bare bone, black and white photography is such an accurate representation of life in the Valley,” said Dawn Haughey, STC art gallery associate. “This exhibit shows us the humbleness and honesty of local people, who are very much steeped in their culture and family and works to commemorate those who might otherwise be overlooked or unappreciated.”
Miranda was born in Mexico City and later moved to the Valley. He earned his Bachelor of fine Arts in graphic design from the University of Texas Pan-American. Miranda currently documents art openings, music and fashion shows as a way to promote local arts.

South Texas College’s Pecan Campus Library proudly presents “Machistas Y Vanidad,” an exhibit featuring artwork by Noel Palmenez. The exhibit opens Thursday, June 6, 2013 with an opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m. Talks with the artist will be held the same day at 2:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. at the Pecan Campus Library Rainbow Room, located at 3201 W. Pecan Blvd. in McAllen. The exhibit will be on view through Friday, Aug. 12. Admission is free and open to the public.
Palmenez’s exhibit titled, “Machistas Y Vanidad” or “Macho and Vanity,” is about one’s exterior, or how we wish for ourselves to be perceived. It also dissects what it means to be “macho.” Palmenez says, “The Machistas greatest weakness is the belief that they know it all, and the fear to ask a question or admit that they are wrong. It is pride that keeps many men from living a more fulfilled life, and the fear of change. What is left is an ego driven young man that is more than willing to take what he wants because there is no alternative.”
As for the role of vanity, though often seen as a negative quality, Palmenez chooses to view it as a great freedom and a way for women to express their identity and fearlessness.
“The time honored roles of men and women are beginning to change,” said Palmenez. “Men are gradually releasing the reigns of authority and letting women be a larger part of what happens within the workings of the world. A new voice is a good change, for it is not tied down to tradition, and a woman’s voice is genuine and real.”
“The subject matter of Palmenez’s exhibit is extremely pertinent to this region,” added STC Art Galley Associate Dawn Haughey. “Although the ‘macho’ or ‘machismo’ attitude can appear in all cultures, it seems to be especially ingrained in many Latino households. This type of mind set has a detrimental effect on families, marriages and children. Palmenez’s work speaks of the evolution of this negative tradition into something positive and hopeful. It is a message that needs to be heard.”

South Texas College’s Pecan Campus Library proudly presents “Machistas Y Vanidad,” an exhibit featuring artwork by Noel Palmenez. The exhibit opens Thursday, June 6, 2013 with an opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m. Talks with the artist will be held the same day at 2:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. at the Pecan Campus Library Rainbow Room, located at 3201 W. Pecan Blvd. in McAllen. The exhibit will be on view through Friday, Aug. 12. Admission is free and open to the public.
Palmenez’s exhibit titled, “Machistas Y Vanidad” or “Macho and Vanity,” is about one’s exterior, or how we wish for ourselves to be perceived. It also dissects what it means to be “macho.” Palmenez says, “The Machistas greatest weakness is the belief that they know it all, and the fear to ask a question or admit that they are wrong. It is pride that keeps many men from living a more fulfilled life, and the fear of change. What is left is an ego driven young man that is more than willing to take what he wants because there is no alternative.”
As for the role of vanity, though often seen as a negative quality, Palmenez chooses to view it as a great freedom and a way for women to express their identity and fearlessness.
“The time honored roles of men and women are beginning to change,” said Palmenez. “Men are gradually releasing the reigns of authority and letting women be a larger part of what happens within the workings of the world. A new voice is a good change, for it is not tied down to tradition, and a woman’s voice is genuine and real.”
“The subject matter of Palmenez’s exhibit is extremely pertinent to this region,” added STC Art Galley Associate Dawn Haughey. “Although the ‘macho’ or ‘machismo’ attitude can appear in all cultures, it seems to be especially ingrained in many Latino households. This type of mind set has a detrimental effect on families, marriages and children. Palmenez’s work speaks of the evolution of this negative tradition into something positive and hopeful. It is a message that needs to be heard.”
Palmenez earned a Master of Science degree from Texas A&M University and an Masters of Fine Arts from The University of Texas Pan-American in painting, drawing and sculpture. He currently teaches at The University of Texas-Brownsville.
