J. Wayne Stark Galleries

The J. Wayne Stark Galleries is an art museum located within the Memorial Student Center at Texas A&M University, featuring four exhibition spaces. The facility displays paintings, prints, drawings, and photographs created from the 1800s forward, with works arranged to allow visitors to move through different artistic periods and styles.

The facility opened in 1992 after Sara and John H. Lindsey funded its construction as a gift to the university. This founding established a dedicated space for visual arts at Texas A&M and reflected the university's growing focus on art education.

The collection reflects the work of Texas artists and how they shaped regional art traditions. Visitors can see paintings, prints, and photographs that reveal what mattered to people creating art in this state during recent centuries.

The galleries are located in Room 1110 of the Memorial Student Center at 275 Joe Routt Boulevard, making them straightforward to find within the campus. Parking is available in nearby university garages, and you should allow time to walk between buildings depending on where you start on the large campus.

The facility oversees around 23 outdoor sculptures placed throughout the university campus, extending the art experience beyond the interior gallery spaces. Walking across campus, you encounter these works in unexpected places, creating an informal path through the grounds.
