Take an intriguing journey through the Fine Art Center’s collection. Uncover the nuances among terms including “Hispanic,” “Mexican American,” “Chicano,” and “Mestizo.” Learn how these distinctions enrich your experience of the collection and reveal the significance of the architectural design of the Fine Arts Center building itself.
