The Ellen Noël Art Museum is thrilled to announce a new session of Adventures in Art, designed for aspiring artists aged 6-12. This engaging program offers young creatives the opportunity to learn the art of portrait painting, focusing on capturing the likeness of family members. Classes are scheduled from 2:30-4:30 PM, making for an inspiring and educational afternoon activity. Participants will begin with a tour of the museum's current exhibitions, drawing inspiration from professional artworks before diving into their own studio projects. The hands-on experience allows students to explore various techniques and develop their unique artistic skills under the guidance of experienced instructors. The cost for each class is $20, with advance online registration required. Due to the limited class size, we encourage early registration to ensure your young artist secures a spot. This is a fantastic opportunity for children to immerse themselves in the world of portrait painting, gain new artistic insights, and enjoy a creative and supportive environment. Don’t miss out on this wonderful chance for your child to enhance their artistic abilities and create meaningful portraits of their loved ones. Registration forms coming soon.

UTPB Music Presents Jazz Extravaganza

Wagner Noël Performing Arts Center 1310 FM 1788, Midland, Texas

The UTPB Jazz Kettle will be hosting internationally celebrated musicians Willie Murillo and James Morrison for a concert on Monday, March 3, 2025. This will be an event that will benefit students at UTPB, Odessa College, and Midland College, as well as community members. The Guest Artists will rehearse with community and college musicians on Sunday night, speak to groups and individuals in private lessons and Master Classes on Monday, and perform with jazz band members from UTPB, OC, MC and the greater Permian Basin community that evening at the Wagner Noel Performing Arts Center. The magnitude of this experience cannot be overstated. Willie Murillo is an LA based trumpeter, singer, arranger, and producer who visited UTPB last year for a similar residence. Everyone who was associated with that rehearsal/performance 2-day event left the experience exhilarated and edified. James Morrison is an Australia based multi-instrumentalist who has been called “the Genius of Jazz”. He and Mr. Murillo will be on multi-state tour across the nation, and they are looking forward to spending a few days in the Permian Basin before moving on to other tour dates and locations. Includes musicians from Odessa College, UTPB Jazz Kettle, and Midland College.
