Let's Talk Art

This will be an exhibition of Family quilts. Less than two weeks ago, the community art center and gallery, The Kinfolk House, posted a call for artists to submit work for an exhibition on family quilts. Anyone who saw it could enter images of their quilt(s). So, we will have no idea who is in the show till we see it.

The Kinfolk House was the home of the grandmother of famous Fort Worth artist Sedrick Huckaby. Well, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Wort buys his work and is displaying one of his paintings now. So, he's famous to me! Sedrick and his wife have converted the residential home to be a community learning/gathering center and art exhibition space.

Check this post the days prior to this reception event. They have listed what day this event will take place, but not the time yet. Thank you!

(Painting of quilts by Jessica Fuentes. The exhibition will be of real quilts, not paintings of quilts. But, the gallery has not posted any images yet of any of the quilts in the show.)

Please join us for a viewing and discussion of 'Cowboy', at the Amon Carter Museum, in Fort Worth.

This exhibition is about divergent perspectives on the term 'cowboy' and its culture. This is not an exhibition giving the popular representation and mythology of the cowboy. It's an exhibition of a broader expanse of the participants and perception of the culture. It asks us to consider how the 'cowboy' as been represented and its entire real landscape. It also considers the traditional masculine depiction of the cowboy and missing histories.

The Amon Carter is always FREE. For those interested, we can walk to a restaurant nearby for something to eat.

Fort Worth peeps, please join us for a special holiday edition of LTA in a joint Meetup with Dallas-Fort Worth Spanish-English Intercambio exchange group for dancing at Studio 80, in downtown Fort Worth.

The date could change, given the holidays, so stay tuned to this channel as we get into November. This is not a normal event for us, at least not yet. If we have a lot of leg-shakers out there maybe it will happen more often. For our Dallas peeps, we are doing karaoke the following weekend, if Thanksgiving does not torpedo it : )

We are joining forces with the members of the Spanish-English exchange Meetup group (who also joined us for the recent Sundance Square Catrina Fest). We are joining forces to help with numbers. Some people tend to disappear as dancing events approach and we are competing with holiday schedules. We need dance lovers to represent : )

Some people like to party earlier, some like it at midnight. Stay as long as you can.

I believe entry is $10 per person.

Dallas peeps, if you're in town and need to get off the sofa, let's get together for karaoke in Richardson. You don't have to wear a Santa hat or ugly sweater, but you can if you want. We will test our chords at Beyond the Bar, in Richardson, a alcohol free bottling joint.

Just trying it out. Let's Talk Art (LTA) has existed for a few months and growing. Just want to acknowledge, welcome, thank and get to know our Dallas-side peeps.

This is a safe neighborhood with eateries within safe walking distance, not that I recommend walking after the event for anyone. I have, but I am a dude. The DART Spring Valley light-rail station is a quarter-mile away.

I will eat in the area before the event if anyone wants to join. It's a long drive from FW for me, so I'll get there earlier, eat and hang out to make sure I get through traffic and there on time, maybe get a chai at HIS Tea at the nearby intersection. Evening traffic is worse than driving to the DMA from FW on Sunday morning.

This is the holiday season. I understand schedules may compete. If you can get out, great!
