We celebrate Texas artists
Texas Folklife organizes and presents exhibitions highlighting the work of Texas artists in all disciplines. Often, these exhibits start out at our office gallery in Austin, then travel to sites throughout the state and beyond.
Images from the El Paso/Juarez Borderlands
The photo exhibit,Pasatiempos de la Frontera: Images from the El Paso/Juarez Borderlands, has been held over at the Texas Folklife Gallery due to its popularity. The exhibit, a series of images conveying the vitality of life in this Texas border town, has attracted viewers from Europe as well as Texas and several other states. Benitez, an El Paso native, has just earned his graduate degree from the University of Houston. The series was inspired by his experiences attending undergraduate school at Notre Dame, in South Bend, Ind., where he often found himself trying to describe life in the desert town.The exhibit may be viewed weekdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. or by appointment at the Texas Folklife Gallery, 1317 S. Congress Ave., Austin. Call 512-441-9255 for more details.
