Top Five: October 17, 2013

by Glasstire October 11, 2013

This week there are several novel projects getting off the ground in Dallas, the Texas center of novel projects these days. Add to that a Dallas artist showing in Austin, to make three of a kind. A bit of macabre fantasy in San Antonio foreshadows our upcoming Halloween Art Roundup. Comic Future features many big-name artists at Ballroom Marfa, but it takes longer to get to Marfa than to New York from most Texas cities!

This tiny art space is huge with overflowing creativity that flows from the walls to the floor and ceiling! Some of it has even found it’s way outside at it’s entrance with words of poetry.

Each opening with it’s new artist shows the unlimited supply of talented artists that surround us.

Margaret Honeytruffle and Alice Thud III, have proven that they have an expert eye for art no matter what form it may express itself.

Congratulations to the Epitome Institute for your popular vote!!!
