Vista Gallery - Edge of a Story
Exhibition on Display: April 16, 2021 - June 26, 2021
Works by Dan Jian
My work explores landscape as a motif and metaphor that conveys a depth of meaning through
the reductive representation of form. As an immigrant, I find landscape acquires meaning
through memories. Through reflection and recollection, we are the subjects overwriting a
landscape’s original narrative while holding the potential of all future memory. The
current work draws pictorial references from Buddhist mural painting in Tang dynasty
caves, China (Mogao Caves at Dunhuang), in which stories and narratives are constantly
shifting due to the flattened and sometimes ambiguous background.

Frost Gallery - Aerocactus
Exhibition on Display: April 16, 2021 - June 26, 2021
Works by Peter Harrington
An aesthetic influence for me has been with the Imagist School of Chicago, however, my
work has taken its own path into uncharted territory. My paintings are a kind of Kabuki
of characters enacting a brief, poetic drama. Often in an iconic, totemic expression. An
unlikely, but inevitable intersection of elements from primitive nature and the human
presence, toward a philosophical whole. Friends have commented on the humor and
inventiveness of the way that things are put together, pointing to the pure ideas
behind the resolved work. Some years spent living in Zen monastic communities...

Main Gallery - Once a Day Swallow a Small Sun
Exhibition on Display: April 16, 2021 - June 26, 2021
Third Space DFW Juried Show
Once a Day Swallow a Small Sun focuses on reflections of the queer experience through
health and well-being. The definition of what queer health means is broad to include
multiple perspectives and allow artists to freely interpret this concept. There needs
to be creative attention to this aspect of the queer experience because health is
often a taboo topic to discuss both within and outside of the LGBTQIA+ community.
The title of this exhibition is taken from a verse in a Sam Sax poem: On PrEP or on Prayer
["when i say pre-exposure prophylaxis"] By Sam Sax

Artspace111 - The Jane Series
Exhibition on Display: May 13 - June 26, 2021 Opening Reception May 13, 2021, 5-8 PM
Artspace111 is excited to introduce The Jane Series by Layla Luna. Through abstracted
colorful geometric paintings, Luna uses the concept of pie charts and mud pies to
address the over-analysis of our daily lives in the digital age. Luna compares the
pie chart shape to the shape of the nostalgic childhood mud pie; a symbol of the
simplicity of life, childhood freedom, and creating with abandon. Through many facets
in the work, Luna subtly hints at female artist empowerment. The Jane Series references
her inherited middle name, Jane; a name she shares with her cousin, maternal grandmother,
mother, and daughter.

reveal her feelings and awareness of how women are represented and seen today. Michelle

present in her work. After, breaking both of her wrists and tearing tendons, Michelle
strongly appreciates the power of her hands.

Rebecca Low Sculpture Gallery, Inc - Featured Artist: Tatara Siegel
Gallery Hours: 11-4 Wednesday-Saturday, Or any time by Appointment
Tatara Siegel is our featured artist and her sculptures are a must see! She has always
been fascinated and motivated by asking questions and answering those questions with new
questions. Analyzation has always been a tool that she has found to be invaluable to
her process of making art. It allows her to, metaphorically, pick away at surface layers
of information and eventually come to a root of truth. Her work consists of mixed media
sculpture, focusing mostly in glass and ceramic. The work consists of levels of different
narratives between the viewer's perception, the materials being utilized, and the stage
in which the work is placed.

TranSystems Gallery - Between Monuments
Exhibition on Display: March 5 – April 10, 2021
Works by Sarah DePrentis
Between Monuments is an exhibition of new sculptural works by Texas-based
artist Sarah DePetris. It is based on a series of “monuments” found beneath
Texas highway underpasses and abandoned construction sites. Contrasting contemporary
ruins with fragments and monuments from antiquity, the works reimagine overlooked and
discarded piles of rubble as icons and objects of potential. They are suspended between
destruction and resurrection; the made and unmade. Often site-specific, vibrant, and
defying gravity, they create accessible bridges between the real and imagined.

Dale Brock and Visiting Angels Gallery - From Behind the Walls
Exhibition on Display: March 26 – May 15, 2021
Works by Jose "Mr. Lonely" Salinas
Jose "Mr. Lonely" Salinas' first solo exhibition, From Behind the Walls portrays his
life, dreams, and regrets during his time incarcerated in prison, sharing his struggles
with addiction and longing for home from "behind the walls." Salinas’ work is greatly
influenced by and embodies Chicano imagery and the work in From Behind the Walls infuses
those elements with vignettes of an imprisoned person's life and fantasies: religious
icons, temptations, and family members. Images of hope and hopelessness weave throughout
Salinas' work and he states that his artwork became a source of therapy, allowing him to
stay focused.

Fort Worth Gallery - All That's Left
Exhibition on Display: March 26 – May 15, 2021
Works by Justin Burns
Kopperl, Texas like many small towns, is just a small blip on a map and most people would
never know it was there. I wanted to visually showcase the beauty of the decay of this
small town. Each artwork has little hints of either personal family stories or someone
familiar with the community would know. Eventually these spaces will disappear and will
become a distant memory of a time of how things used to be and will disappear with the
people who hold special memories to them. These structures were designed for purpose and
a force of permanence and yet the ruins linger as a reminder when the train used to stop
in Kopperl, TX.

BNSF Gallery - Te Digo Que Lo Llevo En La Sangre
Exhibition on Display: March 26 – May 15, 2021
Works by Melissa Gamez Herrera
Te Digo Que Lo Llevo En La Sangre (I’m telling you that I carry it in my blood) is a
working portrait of women workers who are involved in labor rights advocacy within the
context of the maquiladora (assemblage factory) industry in Mexico. The phrase Te Digo
Que Lo Llevo En La Sangre comes from a conversation I had with a former maquiladora
worker, named Pilar Perez, in which she details her experience working for the maquiladora,
and her experience in organizing workers and activism. The resulting artwork I make
includes photographs, handmade books, video, sculpture and works on paper.

Central Gallery - Gravel and Dirt
Exhibition on Display: March 26 – May 15, 2021
Works by Lindy Chambers
What is really going on here? Outside the city are strange things that frighten people.
It gets really dark and you can see the stars among other things that are unusual. Things
you drive by, don't notice, take for granted, don't experience because you look but don't
see. Is what you look at the truth of what you see? You have to engage in my large
paintings, be part of them, ask questions of what you are looking at, the great and
different objects in rural Texas. Objects never noticed, homes to animals, trailers
with inhabitants that leave influences on the land. Hopeful nature, scary nature,
experience, see, feel, be part of it.

Shelia and Houston Hill Courtyard Gallery - New Sculptures
The Fort Worth Community Arts Center welcomes two distinct emerging artists Jihye Han
and Ben Muñoz to the Shelia and Houston Hill Courtyard Gallery.
Ben Muñoz's Compacted with Care examines the duality of the Muñoz's life as a husband,
father, and artist. The single sculpture is constructed from the Muñoz's printmaking
woodcuts and figuratively denotes life's building blocks' in which the artist reconfigures
balancing between home life and artistic pursuits. The assembled sculpture resembles the
wooden blocks formations he and his children build together during playtime. Jihye Han's
Breaking Ground utilizing clay, cedar, and porcelain explores themes of separation and
lonesomeness, drawing from the artist's Korean heritage and North and South Korea division.
Breaking Ground consists of two site-specific structures designed specifically for the
Courtyard Gallery.

Fort Worth Public Art - When Air Becomes Sky
The Animalis Works team, artists Dharmesh Patel and Autumn Ewalt, was inspired by the
revitalization and conservation of Northwest Community Park as an ecosystem. Particularly
interested in its reemergence as a stopping point on the migration route of the monarch
butterflies, the team designed a series of larger-than-life butterfly sculptures. Each
beautiful butterfly sculpture calls to mind this migration, encapsulating the energy and
vibrance of nature. Placed along two trails each butterfly appears to have just landed,
inviting viewers to interact with the work while exploring the park. The sculptures hold
a total of approximately 6500 embedded crystal prisms which are activated by sunlight
throughout the day, casting colorful patterns of refracted light
