I'm horribly remiss in my posting duties. Especially in light of the fact that Houston happened 2.5 weeks ago. In either case, what we experienced there was an amazing revelation to the fact that the "Art Community" is alive and well. It lives within the academic structure of museums and universities, with great contributions from private sector.

Houston Art center, including the great MENIL gallery and the Museum of Fine Art is just the start of an amazing infrastructure of culture, deeply rooted in traditional art and old Texas wealth. What an amazing testament to the notion of romantic American history. It is the best kept secret in Texas, and I would venture to say that many consumers out there are not aware of this amazing jewel, available to the general public to visit and fall in love with.

The event was planned by Fernando Brave, of Brave Architecture (in Houston), along with Rice Design Alliance and the AIGA. We must thank A number of people for very specific things that happened during the show. I'll do this in my next posting regarding this article.

Untill then,

Allen
