The South Texas College Library Art Gallery will be hosting a community art exhibition, “The Moon as Muse: A Love Letter in Art & Verse,”the moon has long inspired artists across different fields.
The timeless allure of the moon has sparked creativity across generations, inspiring artists, musicians and writers alike. Ancestors looked to the moon to mark the passing of days and seasons, connecting daily rhythms to its cycles. Its phases were woven into myths and legends, serving as a guiding light in the night sky and a symbol of constancy through change.
Still inspired by the same moon’s beauty and mystery, the STC Library invites the community to share their unique perspective, in its upcoming art exhibition. The exhibition will feature the artwork of STC students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members.
Art will be on view from March 5 – May 16, 2025. There will be an opening reception and awards on March 5, from 5 – 7 p.m. where participants will get a chance to win first, second and third place prizes.
Participation and admission to the gallery is free and open to the public.
