CBC Kingsville Host First Lectureship Event with Santa Contreras Barraza

A native of Kingsville, Texas, Santa Contreras Barraza is a contemporary Chicana/Tejana Artist, who is a Professor of Art at Texas A&M University at Kingsville. Ms. Barraza brought with her two of her original art pieces to display for her lecture. Over 40 students were in attendance for the lecture including students from Beeville and the Alice site. Ms. Barraza was so gracious in providing posters of her displayed work. Students were privileged enough to have them autographed by Ms. Barraza. We look forward to having more lectureship events.

Executive Dean of Student Services, Lupe Ganceres (pictured below) also attended the event and said, “it’s wonderful when college students are afforded an opportunity to interact with a renowned artist and gain insight on how she came to create her paintings.”
