Texas Sculpture Garden

It’s so close.

I live in Dallas. Yet I work in far north Plano – not far from Oklahoma as I often whine – and yet I’ve only recently availed myself of the wide variety of artwork on display at the Texas Sculpture Garden.

It’s so close.

No need to drive all the way over to Fort Worth, the cultural crown jewel of all-things-arty. I must admit to favoring a quick 30 minute drive west in order to visit the Amon Carter. Or the Modern. Or the Kimbell.

The community in Fort Worth often appears to be so much more forwarding thinking than the movers+shakers here in Dallas Arts District. But there’s hope for Dallas…

For Plano…

For Frisco…

Don’t think that I am bashing the art scene here in Dallas – I am not.

In fact, in just this week I visited the wonderful Women’s Museum at Fair Park = Dallas. And I just had the most wonderful conversation with a new acquaintance about the lovely and not-so-well known Meadows Museum on the campus of SMU = again, Dallas. Plus my fellow students from UTD have a show that’s just opened at the Dallas Contemporary. It’s called Reality Bites. Clearly there’s lots more going in all around me – this is just what’s passed my way this week.
