Out in the Great Northwest, where once were miles and miles of sparsely populated Texas Hill Country, at the intersection of North Ellison and Loop 1604, sits the fastest growing campus of the Alamo Community College District. Northwest Vista College, already a sprawling coterie of not so unpleasant Nouveau-Tex public architecture, is undergoing a major construction process, with even more structures on the way (the Art Department will soon have its own building), as the population boom in the area defines the area’s educational needs. On display inside the Huisache Hall -organized by Tim Jones– is a collection of images by Students, Faculty & Staff, entitled Northwest Vistas-FOTOSEPTIEMBRE USA, the College’s contribution to the 2008 Festival.
