Griff Smith has worked for Texas Highways for more than 25 years and has been the photo editor since 2009. According to a March 2011 article in the magazine, his work has sent him "from Alpine to Zephyr." During his career, he has covered a wide spectrum of subjects, from majestic landscapes to unique people who have contributed to the tapestry of Texas culture.

Griffis Smith and the contribution Texas Highways has made to encourage the exploration of Texas. The exhibit will also examine the process from concept to publication of how Smith and Texas Highways magazine have defined and carried out their mission.
