Exhibition on Display: March 21–June 1, 2025 Tues.–Fri. 9 a.m.–8 p.m.; Sat.–Sun. Noon–6 p.m. Old grocery sacks become a crocheted wall hanging, 1960s magazine pages become origami-like flowers, and a coffee box turns into a faux watering can in this re-purposed floral wonderland.

Exhibition on Display: March 25–June 1, 2025 Tues.–Fri. 9 a.m.–8 p.m.; Sat.–Sun. Noon–6 p.m. The human body—depicted in action, in allegorical form, in portraiture, or as an object mediated by the effects of change over time—is one of the oldest and most important subjects in art. This dynamic array allows for an exploration of a wide range of stylistic approaches to the depiction of the human body, while also providing a glimpse at the variety of forms and materials employed by artists across several centuries.TX.AG/Human (http://TX.AG/Human)

Exhibition on Display: March 25–June 1, 2025 Tues.–Fri. 9 a.m.–8 p.m.; Sat.–Sun. Noon–6 p.m. Pewter, a tin-based alloy, played a significant role in households from ancient times to the 18th and 19th centuries, when it was used for everything from tableware and drinking vessels to decorative items. Pewter was relatively affordable compared to precious metals like silver or gold, but it featured a warm, lustrous appearance, making it desirable for those seeking to emulate wealth and status. The "American Brilliant Period" (roughly 1876–1916) saw the rise of fine, hand-cut crystal, characterized by high lead content for brilliance, and gained worldwide recognition for its elegance and intricate designs. Both cut crystal and pewter have historically used lead in their fabrication with notable results in the appearance of the glass metal.TX.AG/SUAB (http://TX.AG/SUAB)
