About Us

History

Built in 1996, the International Cultural Center (ICC) is a significant service center and is Texas Tech University’s signature statement of its commitment to international education. Through the divisions of the OIA, it provides a continual series of conferences, lectures, art exhibitions, and performances as well as services to faculty, staff, students, and the local community. More than 35,000 people are served through the center each year.

The Award of Merit from the American Institute of Architects was awarded to the architects for the ICC design.When visiting the ICC, you will notice the 12 foot stainless steel globe just west of the building.  Inside, the building is equally beautiful. The Hall of Nations is a rotunda and features flags of nations of the world and a terrazzo floor representing the continents, oceans and seas of the world. A color mural, The Peoples of the World , and sepia murals of education and the arid lands mission of the University can be seen in the halls and gallery outside the Hall of Nations. Our World Room is featured in the center of the building and exhibits a six-foot geo-physical circulating globe by Rand McNally.

Photographic and art exhibits can be viewed in both the east and west galleries and on the walls encircling the globe in the Our World Room.

Public Art Walking Tour:   Booklet – http://texastech.edu/fpc/public-art/walking-tour-booklet/FLASH/index.html

Explore our Collection – over 100 artworks to view

The Public Art Program at the Texas Tech University System was initiated by the Board of Regents in 1998 to enrich the campus environments and extend the educational mission at all of its universities. Through the program, public artworks are funded using one percent of the estimated total cost of each new major capital project. Since then, more than 100 items created by some of today’s leading artists have been added to the TTU System’s multiple campuses. Contact Emily Wilkinson, public art manager, to inquire about touring the public art, presentations about the collection, brochures and additional information.

LANDMARK ARTS promotes fine arts growth and development at Texas Tech School of Art through a comprehensive program of exhibitions, symposia and workshops, publications, and hands-on experience with working artists. As a component of the Texas Tech University School of Art, the strength of the program is in the integration of academic, professional, and real-world experience afforded by its broad association with the University and the Lubbock Community of arts supporters.

Marian Herring: The Selsha Project
Art Building South Gallery, November 1 – December 8, 2019

Selsha is a planet far away in a different solar system; it plays host to all manner of creatures. Several of these creatures are intelligent and have formed entire cultures, languages, and societies. The Selsha Project is an attempt to catalog and record the biodiversity of this alien world and its many wonders. This exhibition fulfills the capstone requirement of the BA in Art.

Susan Moore: Fictional Space
Art Building SRO Photo Gallery, November 14 – December 15, 2019

In Fictional Space, Susan L. Moore has used a form of fiction to reference reality. Creating small maquette sculptures of interiors, Moore photographs the empty interior landscapes to provoke thought about memory. Moore connects the work to the process of grief, the seemingly abstract concept of loss, the mysteries of the unknown, and juxtaposes light and dark, life and death.

Susan L. Moore holds an MFA in Fine Arts from Washington University, School of Art in St. Louis, Missouri and is currently a Professor at Indiana University South Bend where she serves as Chair of the Fine Arts Department. Moore’s photography has been exhibited nationally and worldwide. Her recent landscape images were selected for exhibition at the South Bend Museum of Art. In 2018, she was awarded a residency at the International Studio & Curatorial Program in Brooklyn, New York.

Landmark Arts exhibitions and speaker programs in the Texas Tech University School of Art are made possible in part with a generous grant from the Helen Jones Foundation of Lubbock.
