Packing the gallery outside Dave
Hickey's startling lecture about student centric curricula
at UTD Saturday March
1 was The TVAA
High School Art Show, our first experience with the kid
art shows so prevalent this month.
Other kid shows include Arlington Museum's
13th Annual Youth
Art Encounters, Irving
Art at Irving Art Center, Young
American Talent at the Bath House and Young
Masters at the DMA.
Nice of them to have all the shows at
once, huh?
If you only have time for one. See the
Dallas Museum of Art's annual Young Masters
show. Once we saw that winner, we all but abandoned our ambitions
to update the UTD story. Next time JR gets a break, he'll show
and tell more pix from that superb yearly collection.

I was taken aback when I recognized some
patterns in one of our favorite pieces in the statewide, competitive
Yougn American Talent show at the opening Sunday.
We still don't know which school he attends,
since neither gallery displayed that info, but we're impressed
and look forward to seeing more from Will.
