Texas Regional Art Symposium

The Heard-Craig Center for the Arts is honored to host a one day Texas Regional Art Symposium on October 10, 2009. “By bringing together historians, curators, collectors, and local artists, the Heard-Craig Center offers 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 19^th and 20^th 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.

As home to an extensive and growing art collection from Texas during the early 20th century, the Heard-Craig Center is privileged to be part of the ongoing story of Texas art. As both creators and collectors of art in Texas, the Heard family contributed to the rich grass roots efforts of local art clubs and civic patronage that resulted in quality art gracing the homes and public buildings of communities statewide.

Tickets for the Texas Regional Art Symposium are $25 for the full day of activities. Click the button above to purchase online or for more information contact the Haerd-Craig office at 972-569-6909.
