Brownsville native and author Oscar Casares will teach a course this summer at The University of Texas at Brownsville. Casares will teach creative writing during the first session of summer classes.The first two weeks of the course will be taught via video conferencing. He will be on campus for the last three weeks of the course. The first session of summer classes begins Monday, June 3, and ends Monday, July 8.
"I've now been teaching for over 10 years, and I can't think of a class that I've been more excited about teaching than I am about the one at UTB,” said Casares. “In preparing for this summer course, I've been thinking a great deal about what I want to share with the students and what I think would've been helpful for me way back then. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and hearing their stories."
Casares, the author of two critically acclaimed books of fiction, teaches and directs the Master of Fine Arts program in English at the University of Texas at Austin.
Born and raised in the Brownsville, he is the author of a novel and a collection of stories, which have earned him fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Copernicus Society of America, and the Texas Institute of Letters.
“Having Oscar Casares in the English Department this summer is a wonderful opportunity for our students,” said Dr. Eduardo R. del Rio, Chair of the Department of English.” He has received multiple awards for his work, and his writing explores local themes that our students can readily identify with. It will be a unique experience for young
developing writers.”
His collection of stories, “Brownsville”, was selected by the American Library Association as a Notable Book of 2004 and earned critical praise from such publications as The New York Times, Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle and Entertainment Weekly. His first novel, “Amigoland”, received a "starred review" from Publishers Weekly and was later selected by the 2010 Mayor's Book Club in Austin for that year's citywide reading campaign.
Since 2003, Casares’ essays have appeared in The New York Times, Texas Monthly, and on "All Things Considered" for National Public Radio. He is also a contributing writer for Texas Monthly.
Casares received an Associate of Arts degree from Texas Southmost College in 1984. He continued his studies and was awarded a bachelor’s degree in advertising at The University of Texas at Austin in 1987. In 2001, Casares earned his Master of Fine Arts from the Iowa Writers' Workshop. A year later he was awarded a six-month fellowship at the Dobie Paisano Ranch near Austin, named for the famed Texas storyteller, where he completed the “Brownsville” collection.

STC’s seventh annual RGV Ceramics Showdown is in full swing for summer!
South Texas College’s Library Art Gallery Program, together with the college’s Visual Arts and Music Department, brings the Rio Grande Valley its annual ceramics exhibition and workshop, "Clear as Mud: A South Texas Ceramic Showdown." All activities are free and open to the public.
The event includes a full display of ceramic works by art students and professors from regional universities and community colleges. The exhibit will be on view from June 3 to August 12, 2013 at the college’s Pecan Campus Art Building Art Gallery, located at 3201 West Pecan Blvd. in McAllen.
A two-day ceramics workshop takes place June 7 from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. and 1:30 - 4:30 p.m. and June 8 at 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. at STC’s Pecan Campus Art Building (Bldg. B) Ceramics Lab, Room 113. Art talks will take place Saturday, June 8 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the same location. An exhibit reception will be held on June 6 in the Visual Arts and Music Gallery and the Pecan Campus Library Art Gallery from 6 to 8 p.m.
Participants will see clay demonstrations by nationally recognized and distinguished ceramicists Kirk Mangus and Billy Ritter.
Mangus earned his Master of Fine Arts from Washington State University. He has been the Head of Ceramics at Kent State University since 1985 and has taught at numerous institutions including the Cleveland Institute of Art, Cranbrook Academy of Art and the University of Georgia Athens Cortona, Italy Program.
Ritter earned his Master of Fine Arts from Kent State University. He currently works as a Ceramics Instructor/Ceramic Lab Technician at the Art House Inc. in Cleveland, Ohio and as a Ceramics Instructor at the Orange Art Center in Pepper Pike, Ohio.
“We are very pleased to have the opportunity to continue with our annual Ceramics Showdown and maintain the presentations from established ceramic artists while hosting an institutional invitational exhibit as well," said Chris Leonard, STC ceramics instructor and exhibit/workshop organizer. “In addition, we are lucky to have a pair of Ohio artists, Kirk Mangus and Billy Ritter, with their own stories and wrinkles pertaining to collaboration, and their own connections to people and places in the Rio Grande Valley. Like many ceramic artists, their work also tells stories, and the work itself, the work ethic and attitudes that formed the work along with Kirk and Billy’s stories and experience will be another shot in the arm for Valley students.”?

Machistas Y Vanidad

Summer art exhibit at STC examines the human qualities, machismo and vanity
South Texas College’s Pecan Campus Library proudly presents “Machistas Y Vanidad,” an exhibit featuring artwork by Noel Palmenez. The exhibit opens Thursday, June 6, 2013 with an opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m. Talks with the artist will be held the same day at 2:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. at the Pecan Campus Library Rainbow Room, located at 3201 W. Pecan Blvd. in McAllen. The exhibit will be on view through Friday, Aug. 12. Admission is free and open to the public.
Palmenez’s exhibit titled, “Machistas Y Vanidad” or “Macho and Vanity,” is about one’s exterior, or how we wish for ourselves to be perceived. It also dissects what it means to be “macho.” Palmenez says, “The Machistas greatest weakness is the belief that they know it all, and the fear to ask a question or admit that they are wrong. It is pride that keeps many men from living a more fulfilled life, and the fear of change. What is left is an ego driven young man that is more than willing to take what he wants because there is no alternative.”
As for the role of vanity, though often seen as a negative quality, Palmenez chooses to view it as a great freedom and a way for women to express their identity and fearlessness.
“The time honored roles of men and women are beginning to change,” said Palmenez. “Men are gradually releasing the reigns of authority and letting women be a larger part of what happens within the workings of the world. A new voice is a good change, for it is not tied down to tradition, and a woman’s voice is genuine and real.”
“The subject matter of Palmenez’s exhibit is extremely pertinent to this region,” added STC Art Galley Associate Dawn Haughey. “Although the ‘macho’ or ‘machismo’ attitude can appear in all cultures, it seems to be especially ingrained in many Latino households. This type of mind set has a detrimental effect on families, marriages and children. Palmenez’s work speaks of the evolution of this negative tradition into something positive and hopeful. It is a message that needs to be heard.”
Palmenez earned a Master of Science degree from Texas A&M University and an Masters of Fine Arts from The University of Texas Pan-American in painting, drawing and sculpture. He currently teaches at The University of Texas-Brownsville.
STC’s Library Art Gallery exhibits regional, national and international artwork, explores new visions and theories of creativity, and introduces innovative artistic expressions to the South Texas region.
