Texas Contemporary Artists Series Texas is fast becoming one of the most progressive and exciting art scenes on the horizon. The Texas Contemporary Artists Series exhibitions showcase the talents of some of Texas’ premier artists. In keeping with Institute of Texan Cultures' mission of engaging the “understanding and celebration of Texas’ cultural heritage," I chose to focus on the work of contemporary artists who call Texas home. The selected artists cover a broad spectrum of artistic styles and mediums. Common to all of their work, however, is the bold vision and unbridled exuberance that is the quintessence of Texan culture.
--Arturo Almeida
