Beginning March 7, 2010, 30 contemporary metal works will be on view at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, in Liquid Lines: Exploring the Language of Contemporary Metal. Organized by Cindi Strauss, MFAH curator of modern and contemporary decorative arts and design, the exhibition explores the varied ways that contemporary artists have manipulated metal to highlight the fluid properties of the material. Works on view range from furniture and vases to avant-garde jewelry and sculptural installations, all from the museum’s permanent collection.
Important original American imagery from the Collection of the American Red Cross, punctuated by names like Haddon Sundblom and Walter Beach Humphrey, highlights the comprehensive array of artwork that is Heritage Auctions’ Feb. 18 Signature® Illustration Art Auction.

On view through May 16, the exhibition will showcase Dallas photographer Ka Yeung’s black-and-white prints of China that provide a contemporary global path to understanding Asia.
If you are wandering the corridor’s of the Blanton Museum of Art not sure what to do with yourself while between exhibitions, it is well worth your time to stop by the small exhibition featuring prints by the Spanish Master Goya. Goya’s Prints: The Dawn of Modern Art is located the upstairs print gallery, and although the area seems tiny in comparison to the major exhibition space, it offers a view into the later years of this world renowned artist.
In a small, square room on the second floor of the Amon Carter Museum lies the only space specifically allotted for photo exhibitions. On the walls of the finite space lies an infinite exploration through American life via Masterworks of American Photography: Popular Culture. Judging from the title of the exhibition, some might expect a display of portraits of movie stars and celebutantes from decades past, but instead viewers are taken (swiftly) through American history, as far back as the 1800s.
New Arrivals: Works from the Collection is an exhibition of recent acquisitions to the Museum’s permanent collection. New Arrivals highlights the important role the art patron plays in developing a Museum’s collection-either through an outright donation or partnering with the Museum in a purchase.
The Amon Carter Museum has acquired a rediscovered painting by American artist George de Forest Brush. The Potter, painted in 1889, had been in private hands since 1946, when it was sold from the collection of the Galveston financier William L. Moody III.
During the last weeks of December 2009, several Collin County families came forward and donated more than $135,000 to the Arts of Collin County. More than 37 families and individuals donated gifts ranging from $25 – $50,000. More than just the holidays and year-end donations, these gifts signify the community’s appreciation of the contribution of the arts and commitment to investing in a cultural community. The Arts of Collin County is not just about today, but long range planning for sustained economic growth, strong home values and a quality of life rich in creativity, culture and community.
Business woman Sandra Yancey has been appointed as an At Large Member of the Arts of Collin County Commission. Sandra, her husband Kym and their two children have been strong supporters of the arts community for a number of years.
