Teaching at Texas A&M University

Since 2015, acclaimed artist Benjamin Knox has taught design and drawing in the Department of Visualization at Texas A&M University. Building on a lifetime of mentorship and professional experience, he shares practical insights with students preparing for creative careers.

"It’s deeply rewarding to pass on the knowledge I’ve gained from decades of mentors and experience — like handing off a torch to the next generation." — Benjamin Knox

 

 

Benjamin is also a frequent guest lecturer for Texas A&M’s Department of Agricultural Economics and the Corps of Cadets, where he speaks on entrepreneurship, leadership, and the realities of sustaining a creative business.

"Artists must be entrepreneurs. Creating great work is only half the journey — you must also build a market for it."
