Gallery Hopping In Dallas, TX

I recently enjoyed an exhilarating week of gallery hopping in Dallas, TX.  I was able to accompany my husband on a business trip where I had the good fortune to visit the Denver Museum of Art, the Crow-Randall Museum of Asian Art, the Kimball, the Amon Carter, the Nasher Sculpture Center and the Arlington Museum of Art.  Each has its own flavor, but their common ground is the amazing art collections they have amassed.

What I find even more impressive is that these cultural centers were built almost exclusively with private monies and donated to the city by their philanthropists.  The love of art and the foresight of these supporters to bring that passion to the city of Dallas and preserve it for future generations is a gift of momentous proportions.

What I take away from my visit, in addition to briefly satisfying my appetite for viewing great art, is a want for my beloved Montana to bring the same to the table.  I believe there is an invaluable benefit to an involvement in the arts, whatever form that may take, and it is our job as artists to help that along.

  “In my own philanthropy and business endeavors, I have seen the critical role that the arts play in stimulating creativity and in developing vital communities….the arts have a crucial impact on our economy and are an important catalyst for learning, discovery, and achievement in our country.”  –Paul G. Allen, Co-Founder, Microsoft

Now get out there and enjoy the arts.
