THE ART SHOW LIST--Texas
=========================
vol 1, no 25: June 20, 1997
Hello all....I will not be able to provide you with the ASLT during July 4-August , as I am going on
my personal trek across North America. If anyone is interested in doing the list for those 5 weeks
please let me know. Also if anyone has any travel tips or just wants a postcard, drop me a line.
We are also still without point persons for Austin and Dallas...... I will be sending an updated
venue list and other info by next mailing... Be sure to check out the ASLT gallery online (URL
below) to see Cheryl's VERY cool work!....Nina (nim...@neosoft.com)
This is a list of upcoming Art openings at museums, galleries,alternative art spaces,universities
and cyber galleries in Texas. If you know of others, please let us know. Also, if you have a show
that doesn't fit into
the above categories, send it anyway and we'll try to fit it in somewhere. This list is not perfect,
mistakes
are bound to happen. I would suggest calling before traveling out of town to see a show. Remember
that
some Museums and Galleries are closed on Mondays and some are by appt only. Suggestions appreciated.
The Venue list should have been mailed to you already, if not please let us know, because they are
not listed with the opening list. The VenueList is a list of just that, 'Venues'. If you have one
to add
or need a new list mail us!
We would like to get personal reviews for any shows that you have seen around Texas. The reviews
will be seen at the ASLT web site (http://www.neosoft.com/~nimsey/aslt.html) along with the archive
of the ASLT.
If you would like to contribute a review you can mail it to as...@juno.com.
If you would like to subscribe via email...let us know. Please specify that you want the "The Art
Show List--Texas" in the subject line and "subscribe" in the body. If you would like to unsubscribe
then do the same but put "unsubscribe" in the body! We will consider a printed snail mail out. If
you would like to have this sent to you, then email us and we'll work it out.
This list was created for the artists, not just the establishments.. so if you are an artist and are
having a show, let us know!It is best to contact the point person in your area, if there isnt
one....Mail Nina (see below)
