Ongoing Exhibition: BYGONE TEXAS
(Free & Open To The Public)
The Art Gallery at Musical Bridges Around the World is pleased to announce “Bygone Texas,” an exhibition by photographers John Mattson and Karen Zimmerly.

Working together but photographing independently, the aesthetic visions and distinct personalities of this artist couple emerge in subtle shifts of emphasis, composition, and interpretation.

Opening Reception: Alterations, Interventions, and Other Manipulations
(Free & Open To The Public)
Curated by MBAW Gallery Coordinator Diana Roberts, this exhibition looks at some of the playful, ironic, investigative, or purely aesthetic ways contemporary artists interact with found imagery and preconceived ideas. Through subtle (or not so subtle) manipulation of materials, intent, or visual cues, these four Texas-based artists subvert, shift, and ultimately expand our reading of the images, inviting alternate perceptions. We invite you to join us for the opening reception with music, wine, and bites!
