Most, if not all, museums and galleries will be closed in observance of Thanksgiving, a very American holiday. We at Dallas Art News feel this to be one of the biggest misfortunes in society today. Just think of the miles and miles of art space available in Texas for walking off those extra helpings of turkey and stuffing. Consider all the things you can only enjoy and not purchase at a fine art museum. Wouldn’t it be nice to appreciate some paintings and sculptures instead of another slice of pumpkin pie?
If you were born in Dallas on Friday, November 22, 1963, then Mr. Holga, our walkabout photographer, wants to take your picture. Mr. Holga, armed with a cheap plastic camera, is hunting down people and places connected with the Kennedy assassination for a new book. The places are easy to find, because Mr. Holga lives north of Dallas. The people, especially the live ones, are a little harder.
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.
