Wichita Falls Museum of Art at Midwestern State University 2 Eureka Circle Wichita Falls, Texas 76308 |
"Romanticism," is an exhibition of new photographs by Lou Reed - stunning black and white images of landscapes and architectural motifs shot on the artist's travels to Scotland, Denmark, Big Sur and elsewhere. The photographs are taken with a digital camera that Reed had adapted to "see" in the infrared zone, which gives them as aura of strangeness, or otherworldliness. They have a timeless quality but are simultaneously very modern, like Reed himself. The Museum is currently exhibiting the newest acquisitions to its Permanent Collection, including works by the following artists: Mark W. Anderson, Alice Leora Briggs, Franklin B. DeHaven, John Fincher, Marion Greenwood, James R. Pace, Andrew Raftery, Coreen Spellman, Judy Youngblood, Katherine Liontas-Warren, Philana Oliphant, Mark McDowell, Juergen Strunk, McKie Trotter, Karl Umlauf, Tim McDowell, Cody Lee Mason, and Allyssa Gaines. ![]() The 2nd Biennial Texas Oklahoma Art Prize Wichita Falls Museum of Art at Awards and Eligibility $2000 non-purchase award for the winning Texas Oklahoma Art Prize selection by the juror. $1000 non-purchase award each for one Texas and one Oklahoma representative selected by the juror.

Ongoing Exhibitions Serie Print Project @ ![]() It is the mission of the Serie Project to produce, promote, and exhibit the work of Latino artists and others, and to make the production and sale of prints affordable to both artist and patron.
The Wichita Falls Museum of Art is hosting an exhibition of the Serie Print Project. The Serie Project produces between 750 and 900 prints per year depending on the number of participating artists. The focus is on the work of Latina/o artists, but is not exclusively so. The artist keeps one half of the prints s/he produces, and the Serie Project keeps the other. The work of all the artists is then shown at exhibits during the course of the year. Sam Coronado initiated the Serie Project in 1993. The project is modeled after Self-Help Graphics in Los Angeles, California, a 30 year-old community-based organization which works with 20-30 artists per year and whose prints have been exhibited nationally and internationally. It was through Sam Coronado’s participation in Self-Help Graphics’ Atelier print project that he was inspired to create a similar print studio in Austin, Texas. Prior to December 1999 the Serie Project was an umbrella project sponsored by La Peña, Inc., a local Latino non-profit arts organization. In December 1999 the Serie Project, Inc., was formally organized and incorporated as its own non-profit entity. To date, over 150 artists have participated in the Serie program. It has gained the attention and support of museums such as the Art Institute of South Texas in Corpus Christi, Texas; the Austin Museum of Art in Austin, Texas; the McAllen International Museum in McAllen, Texas; the South Broadway Cultural Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico; the Guadalupe Cultural Center in San Antonio, Texas; the Hispanic Research Center at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona; and other venues around the United States and Texas. Some of the prints have been featured in the PBS Series titled Art Journeys. In addition, several artists that have participated in Serie have been featured in Contemporary Chicana and Chicano Art, a two-volume book by Gary D. Keller, Mary Erickson, Kaytie Johnson, and Joaquin Alvarado, published by Bilingual Review/Press in 2002. Several of the artists’ serigraphs were reproduced in the volumes.
