The Reading Room in Dallas, a 550-square-foot art space that faces the east entrance to Fair Park in Dallas, has closed after 10 years of exhibitions, readings, performances, and book…

In a way, being on the outside looking in is an apt metaphor for experiencing issues around Black hair from a Black woman’s perspective.

Ruben Carrazana, Christian Cruz, Jer’Lisa Joyce Devezin, Austin Jordan Johnson, and Gerald L. Leavell II will each receive $4,000 of the $20,000 award.

No one may be more in the mood to celebrate than Opal Lee of Fort Worth. The 94-year-old has sustained a five-year campaign to make Juneteenth a national holiday, and has been dubbed the Grandmother of Juneteenth.

Artists 18 years or older who currently live in any North Texas county may apply.

The mural is by artist Reginald Adams and depicts scenes that commemorate Juneteenth.

The flag is currently on view at Philbrook Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma through September 5 of this year.  

Artists in the show curated by Dr. Lauren Cross include Nick Bontrager, Ciara Bryant, Angele Faz, Jessica Fuentes, Jeff Gibbons, Jin-Ya Huang, Sedrick and Letitia Huckaby, Raul Rodriguez, and Bernardo Vallarino.

“All roads lead to Houston! All roads lead to Houston in Black art.”

The first exhibition in the new space is a group show curated by artist Vicki Meek. It opens July 24.

Geraldine “Geri” Lee Epstein Hooks, longtime Houston gallerist and owner of Hooks-Epstein Galleries, has died.

"We’re excited to make up for lost time and help families and friends from all walks of life reconnect again, while making new memories to last a lifetime."

The biannual $3K prize is open nationally to African-American women visual artists, curators, conservators, and art historians. The deadline is June 30.

The interior of the two-story building is said to be severely damaged. It was empty and under restoration at the time of the blaze.

Two new installations will be on view, along with Ruby City's inaugural exhibition.

Upon reopening, the museum's new exhibition "Picturing the American West" will be on view.

As tempting as hosting a blockbuster traveling exhibition can be, and given the opportunity to pick works from the dozens available for "30 Americans," an exercise of curatorial restraint on the part of Arlington Museum of Art could have benefited the show.

This year's juror is Glasstire's Editor-in-Chief, Christina Rees.

War is hell, as artists are always here to remind us.

"I look forward to joining the incredible team at CAMH, and to building upon the influential legacy of former Senior Curator Valerie Cassel Oliver—a curator I profoundly admire."
