The Old Jail Art Center will present two new exhibits in February, The Reclusive Image: Works from Texas Museums and works by Bill Davenport, as part of the Cell Series of exhibitions. Both exhibits open February 4, 2012, and run through May 20, 2012.
The announced closure of The Women’s Museum reminded us how much fun we had with the Museum Express Tour in the spring of 2010. So much fun that we would like to do it again in 2012.
I’m hitting the road tomorrow for a handful of West Texas exhibit openings. I’ll be visiting The Grace Museum in Abilene and The Old Jail Art Center in Albany. On view will be works by Melissa Miller, Bob Stuth-Wade, Bill Kennedy, Eric Zimmerman and portraits by Modigliani, Warhol and Callot.
The Grace Museum, in Abilene, Texas, has posted a very nice video of Rick Weatherl of Weatherl & Associates. Mr. Weatherl discusses the 1992 restoration of Hotel Grace and the challenges of working with a historical building.
Kathy and Jim Webster, who have called Abilene home for more than 40 years, will be honored at The Grace Museum’s 2010 Fall Benefit on Aug. 28.
On Wednesday, Grace Museum Development Director Celia Gesting reported tickets to the museum’s annual gala were selling quickly, with many tables sold even before invitations to the event had been mailed.
Family heirlooms, garage and estate sale finds, oddities and antiquities will find their way to The Grace Museum’s Antiques Round-Up July 31. A group of professional appraisers from across Texas and Oklahoma will staff the event, highlighted by the appearance of public TV personality and antiques appraiser John Buxton. Each appraiser has donated his or her time and travel costs to assist with the event, which is the first-ever appraisal event to be held at The Grace.
In just seven years, the Texas art collection of Houstonians Bobbie and John Nau has grown to include more than 700 paintings and works on paper, representing a broad spectrum of styles and artists. Tuesday, The Grace Museum will open an exhibition of selected works from the collection titled Drawing on the Past: Selections from the Bobbie and John Nau Collection of Texas Art.
