Mission and Vision
Our Mission
The mission of the College of Fine Arts at the University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley is to provide students with high-quality, innovative instruction. We empower our students with the tools to appreciate, create, critique, and teach the arts — as an ever-evolving project composed of diverse voices, traditions, cultures, and institutions.
Our Vision
The College of Fine Arts holds two central aims. The first is to highlight the fundamental value of the arts through scholarship and artistic creation. The second is to disseminate to the local and broader communities, including international communities, both the merits of our college’s varied artistic productions, publications, exhibits, and performances.
