The show, curated by Diana Molina, consists of work from El Paso art group JUNTOS Art Association.

I’m currently sitting in my brand-new, 100-square-foot studio. Really, it’s a 10x10-foot shed kit, but I call it my “off-grid studio/office” to anyone who’ll listen.

It makes sense that many of the current art offerings touch on themes from the pandemic: physical connection, mundane domesticity, and mental health.

Whether I loved what I saw or not, being in this setting felt like entering sacred grounds after being cast out for too long.

Haydee Alonso, Ann Johnson, Rehab El Sadek, Lisa E. Harris, and Tammy Melody Gomez each receive $2K, and will participate in a panel discussion with 2021 Vignette Art Fair curator Vicki Meek.  

Watkins was recently designated by Houston Center for Contemporary Craft as a Texas Master.

"I’m looking at large trends. So many visual artists write!"

When we find ourselves craving connection, we can find it though critical engagement with something wonderful someone has made for us.

Open Weekend is, historically, a wonderful way to access a lot of art, and through the online format: art ideas.

"Every day try to be more human, and less of a consumer." 

Offerings include music, archival tours and a 1978 interview with Donald Judd by Marfa elementary school students.

Marfa's Chinati Foundation recently announced its 2021 resident artists, as well as residency extensions and delays for 2020 due to Covid-19.

The exhibition focuses "works that illuminate cultural differences through the experiences of various identities in the world."

And while arts funding is often the first to get cut, all numbers point to the arts as a driving force in the economy (especially in Texas).

I'm writing this on my phone in a car, with a kid in the backseat, while I wait in a Walmart curbside pickup stall.

Two stellar but very different exhibitions in Lubbock for its First Friday Art Trail in January hit upon eco-centric themes.

The setting of 'The Uncolonized' precedes us by a few centuries, but the discourse doesn’t seem too distant. 

The work has traveled to Amsterdam, New York, London, and Frankfurt. Now: Lubbock.  

No matter the evils and compression (literally and metaphorically) of social media upon art, I use Instagram a lot.
