to me, thanks!
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 gallery9 web site (http://www.neosoft.com/~nimsey/gallery9.html)
