Texas State University will host the unveiling of a signed Salvador Dalí print that is entering the university’s collection on Friday, Nov. 13.
The Dalí print unveiling will be 3–4 p.m. in the TXST Galleries, located in the Joann Cole Mitte Building. The event is co-sponsored by the City of San Marcos and Framebridge.
The Dalí print will be presented in a custom frame from Framebridge, which recently opened its sixth framing studio in San Marcos and employs multiple TXST graduates.
TXST President Kelly Damphousse will speak during the program, which will also feature Helen Ramirez, director of Economic & Local Business Development for the City of San Marcos; Stephanie Reyes, San Marcos city manager; Sarah E. Kleinman, Ph.D., director and chief curator of Texas State Galleries; and Marise McDermott, executive director of The Wittliff Collections.
The unveiling event will kick off San Marcos Art Fest. The Emerging Artist Exhibition opening reception will follow at 7:30–9 p.m. that evening at the Price Center, located at 222 W. San Antonio St. in San Marcos. The Emerging Artists Exhibition exclusively features TXST Art and Design students in a student-curated and juried exhibition.

A collaboration among the Division of Dance, School of Music, and TXST Galleries, Latent Spaces presents the socially engaged screendances of Ana Baer Carrillo, a professor of dance at TXST, through monumental projections and immersive soundscapes.
