Last Saturday at the Third Annual Open House... The weather?  Perfect.  The art?  Amazing.  The crowd?  Just right.  About 200 folks joined us on the most beautiful day of 2010 thus far to enjoy seven new site specific works.  Artists include - Scott Horn, Kevin Obregon, Brad Ford Smith, David Blood, Oliver Bradley, Nicole Cullum Horn, Anne Albagli and Sandra Groomer.  Visiting artist Barry Whittaker photographed all the works for your web enjoyment.

Barry visited Dallas on a break from his own residency in Rotterdam.   It was cool to show him around and ask him to dream with us.   The works will be up though at least June.  Please sign up for a tour if you'd like to come check them out.  And as always, please support this unprecedented program in North Texas!
