Each Spring, a grant-funded program sponsored by the local ACCESS to Learning organization makes available to AISD campuses two of the high quality educational exhibits produced by Humanities Texas – the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Arts.

Available in March :
Annexation: Celebrating Texas Statehood

The annexation of Texas as the twenty-eighth member of the United States of America had a profound impact on world events and the course of democracy in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This exhibition narrates the story of Texas as a Mexican colony and Republic, its campaign to join the United States, the vote for annexation, and the consequences of that vote. Annexation: Celebrating Texas Statehood invites audiences to become more familiar with one of the defining moments of Texas and U.S. history.

This unique learning tool features photographs of historic documents, daguerreotypes, sketches, artifacts, and historic texts.

Available in April:

Vaquero: Genesis of the Texas Cowboy

In the mid-20th century, a culture was disappearing and Texas historian Joe Frantz offered Bill Wittliff a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—to visit a ranch in northern Mexico where the vaqueros still worked cattle in traditional ways. Wittliff photographed the vaqueros as they went about daily chores that had changed little since the first Mexican cowherders learned to work cattle from a horse's back. Wittliff captured a way of life that now exists only in memory and in the photographs included in this exhibition.

This unique instructional tool features photographs with bilingual narrative text that reveal the muscle, sweat, and drama that went into roping a calf in thick brush or breaking a wild horse in the saddle. This exhibition is available in wall-hanging and abridged freestanding versions.
