Finally started going back to the DMA on a regular basis and they have not disappointed either. Stupid - in the early 1990's I visited the museum at least 50 times a year and I was a paying member too. When they started charging admission I bet I didn't average one visit a year until they dropped the admission fee.
Congratulations to the Dallas Museum of Art for three great exhibitions!

A trip to Houston to see the Forrest Bess Retrospective at The Menil Collection. Visited lots of galleries during this trip and for the first time Hiram Butler Gallery where Mark Fox (I think I have that correct) and Tony Fehr had solo exhibitions.
Forrest Bess: Seeing Things Invisible
It was nice to catch-up with Robyn O'Neil at Talley Dunn Gallery for her solo exhibition We Spoke Mirage. Wonderful new work that was somewhat reminiscent of the Forrest Bess exhibition at The Menil
To kickoff the fall exhibitions Oliver Francis Gallery started the year on a high note
Stephen Lapthisophon continued his positive influence on North Texas...

Anthony Keith Giannini Crossing The Line
Absolutely one of my favorite artists and has been since the mid 90's is John Wilcox. When I was at VAL doing exhibitions and artist's talks John showed up and made my year...I think that was around 2008. The much anticipated exhibition of John's work since his passing at his former home/studio hosted by Barry Whistler Gallery
Michael Bise exhibition Life or Death at The MAC blew me away. I want to see more! and more! and more! Michael Bise - Can I please visit next time I am in Houston?
My good friend Brad Tucker was everywhere in 2013. I think I saw every exhibition in North Texas.
