Texas Regional Art Symposium
October 10, 2009
“The history of art in Texas is, like any good story, filled with characters, unfolding events, and underlying themes.” Annie RoyerThe Heard-Craig Center for the Arts is honored to host a one day Texas Regional Art Symposium on October 10, 2009. Historical and contemporary art exhibits will feature well known artists of the region, such as Frank Reaugh, Jerry Bywaters, and Frank Klepper. Distinguished speakers will include Lonn Taylor, Francine Carraro, Victoria Cummins, Bob Reitz, Light Cummins, Sam Ratcliff, and Carol Roark on subjects ranging from southwest material culture to original research on individual artists. The capstone of the symposium will be an open discussion led by area collectors who will exhibit and discuss their favorite pieces of art.
“By bringing together historians, curators, collectors, and local artists, the Heard-Craig Center offers our community a forum for dynamic discussion, as well as the presentation of new research on regional art in Texas,” states director of the Center, Barbara Johnson. This annual event will encourage a greater understanding of 19th and 20th century Texas visual arts (painting, photography, decorative arts, sculpture), and foster the development of the next generation of creators, collectors, and historians of art and culture in Texas.
Tickets for the T.R.A.S. are $20 for the full day of activities.
Students with I.D. may attend for $10.
