<h3>About the Linda and William Reaves Collection of Texas Art: </h3><p>The Linda and William Reaves Collection of Texas Art at the University of Houston-Victoria (UHV) is a collection of art in public spaces assembled in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the university’s presence in the region. The artworks comprising the collection are emblematic of the qualities and attributes of the university’s location in Victoria, Texas at the center of an area stretching across the coastal plains and prairieland southwest of Houston and north of Corpus Christi. Though distinct in their narratives, perspectives, aims, and conceptual underpinnings, artists in the collection—Xavier González, Jonathan Paul Jackson, Leila McConnell, Kermit Oliver, and Dick Wray among them—radiate the spirit of the region, its people, places, ideas, networks, and environments. When viewed in totality, The Linda and William Reaves Collection of Texas Art at the University of Houston-Victoria is a constellation of expressions and narratives that come together to present one grand and rewarding glimpse into the area’s unique artistic tradition and local culture</p><h3><a href="https://publicartuhs.org/event/the-reaves-collection-of-texas-art/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">L﻿earn More &amp; Explore the Collection </a></h3>
