Our VMT art students had an incredible, immersive experience at the Laredo Center for the Arts! They explored The Quest to Dream: A Rare Collection of the First Printed Don Quixote Illustrations Exhibit, featuring the first illustrations of Miguel Cervantes's timeless novel, Don Quixote de La Mancha.

During their visit, students participated in a printmaking workshop conducted by Mr. Jesse Shaw, TAMIU assistant professor and director of Visual Arts.

They also had the chance to view Transitions, an inspiring exhibit by Laredo native Miki Rodriguez.
