Steckline Gallery will present “What Remains, What Renews” by artist Makenzie Raymundo during a First Friday exhibition from 5-7 p.m., Oct. 3, at Newman University.
Raymundo, a mixed media artist and educator, describes her exhibition as “an intuitive and responsive approach to construction.” Using found objects, her work combines digital and traditional processes and materials that celebrate reflection, repetition and reinterpretation.
“At the core of the work is an ongoing attention to surface as a space of meditative labor,” she explained. “Each gesture builds upon the last, forming textured fields that hold evidence of endurance, presence and transformation.”
Based in Omaha, Nebraska, Raymundo earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in art education with a specialization in ceramics from the University of South Dakota in 2020, followed by her Master of Fine Arts in ceramics from Kansas State University in 2023. Her work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally.“What Remains, What Renews” will be on display Oct. 2-30. An Art for Lunch, which includes a discussion with the artist and pizza lunch for Newman students, is Oct. 2 from noon to 1 p.m. All events are free and open to the public.
The Steckline Gallery is located inside the De Mattias Fine Arts Center on the Newman campus, 3100 McCormick. The gallery is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., or by appointment. For more information, email Director of Steckline Gallery Emily Ritter at rittere@newmanu.edu.

Window on a Wider World (WOWW) invites the public to experience the creative talents of students in the Texas Panhandle and South Plains area at a free community art show, themed “Christmas and Music,” featuring visual artwork from students in grades 4 through 12. In each grade category 4th–5th, 6th–8th, and 9th–12th the top ten student artists will receive awards. Guests will also have a chance to vote for the People’s Choice Award, honoring a student piece that captures the community’s heart. Held in collaboration with the Amarillo Symphony’s Holiday Pops concert, this event brings together two vital pillars of the arts visual and musical in the very venue where WOWW was first envisioned. The art exhibit is free and open to the public, offering a perfect opportunity for families, art lovers, and holiday enthusiasts to enjoy a rich cultural afternoon.
