Life of Legacy | Honoring David Adickes and Paul & Joan Culp
The College of Arts and Media’s 2023–24 Legacy Awards celebrate three remarkable honorees whose creativity and service have shaped the artistic and cultural life of Sam Houston State University. Renowned sculptor David Adickes, creator of the iconic 67-foot A Tribute to Courage statue of Sam Houston, is recognized for a lifetime of artistic achievement and his enduring connection to his alma mater. His work continues to inspire generations of artists with the reminder to “Create. Create. Create.”
Also honored are Paul and Joan Culp, longtime advocates for the arts and education whose contributions have enriched SHSU’s campus and community for more than five decades. From curating the university’s growing collection of Texas art to supporting student musicians and performances, the Culps have helped cultivate a thriving environment for creativity and cultural engagement.
