THE ART SHOW LIST--Texas
=========================
vol 1, no 15: April 11, 1997
I have been recently informed that our point person for the Dallas area is no longer able to help us
out. If you can help in any way Please let us know. We are also in desperate need of a point
person for the Austin area as well. Thanks.....nina
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)
