A vast array of visions
Artists from within 125-mile radius of Denton on display09:51 PM CDT on Saturday, July 26, 2008
The Visual Arts Society of Texas, a Denton-based visual arts group, opened its annual regional show last Thursday.
The regional show invites artists who live and work within a 125-mile radius to enter their art in the juried show.
This year, the exhibit opened in the West Gallery at Texas Woman’s University art building. Juror Judy Youngblood, a professor emeritus at the University of North Texas College of Art and Design, selected 33 artists into the exhibit. Twenty-two of those artists are members of the arts society, and 12 are Denton residents.
Youngblood selected painting, photography, fiber, prints, ceramics, and both wood and metal sculpture.
Youngblood taught printmaking and book arts for more than 20 years. The juror recently had a piece — Untitled (1988) — acquired by the Dallas museum of Art. The piece is on exhibit in “The Lone-Star Legacy II: The Barrett Collection of Contemporary Texas Art.”
