UTEP Student Art Exhibit

Used with Permission of UTEP Dept of Art

The Memorial Gallery showcases the work of talented artists from the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) led by Angel Cabrales, focusing on this year’s National Park Week Theme: Greatest Hits. Inspired by iconic moments in national park history, this exhibition highlights how parks—like Chamizal—preserve not just landscapes, but legacies.

Featuring sculptures, ceramics, and neon work, these pieces explore the significance of national parks as places of memory, activism, and transformation. Just as music’s greatest hits define an era, these artistic works celebrate the enduring impact of parks on communities and culture.
