McAllen, TX—Beginning September 14, 2015 the STC Pecan Campus Library Art Gallery, will present “Faces and Places of the Chihuahuan Desert,” an exhibition organized by Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
“Faces and Places of the Chihuahuan Desert” is composed of thirty-one photographs from the work of University of Texas at El Paso professor emeritus Dr. Robert H. Schmidt.

This exhibition presents, in visual form, an interpretation of scientific information about the region of the Chihuahuan Desert.
