CURRENT EXHIBITIONS
Our sincere gratitude to the following foundations for their support of the Museum’s educational and outreach initiatives.
40th Annual Western Federation of Watercolor Societies ExhibitionTHURSDAY, APRIL 16 – WEDNESDAY, JULY 15
The New Mexico Watercolor Society, through the foresight and work of Dr. David Gale (1915-1980), founded the Western Federation of Watercolor Societies (WFWS). It is comprised of twelve watercolor societies located in Western states with a combined membership in excess of 4,500. This year, the WFWS annual juried exhibition returns to Lubbock. Out of the usual 1,100 submissions, 100 are selected for the exhibition and represent the very best in the craft. They range from realism to abstract, traditional to contemporary in subject matter and form. The West Texas Watercolor Society has had the distinct honor of hosting the exhibition in Lubbock four times previously (1980, 1989, 1998, 2006) and is proud to host the event in 2015 in collaboration with the Museum of Texas Tech University.

The masterful photographs have been curated from one of the largest collections of Adams’ art work in the world. Midland, Texas, resident David H. Arrington, an advocate and student of Adams’ artistic methods, has gathered together not only many hundreds of Adams’ original works but the most iconic and finest prints that the artist ever completed.
