In the mix of Dallas' many art galleries, museums and exhibition spaces, there's nothing else like the Bath House Cultural Center. And on their richly varied calendar of art shows featuring local artists, there's nothing like the annual invitational exhibition, Salon du FIT.

Fifty-nine works by approximately forty artists make up Salon du FIT 4, which opens tomorrow evening with an artists' reception in its trademark ...

ONE OF THE PLEASURES of living in a city with excellent commercial art galleries is the occasional bonus exhibition of works by historically significant contemporary artists. One pops up every now and then.

Such a show closes Saturday at Dunn and Brown Contemporary in Dallas, with works by mostly living legends: John Chamberlain, Jim Dine, Isamu Noguchi (who died in 1988), Claes Oldenburg & Coosje van Bruggen, Joel ...

Like the anatomically-correct Visible Man I glued together as a kid, my art displays what I wouldn't otherwise choose to show in public. And I've come to believe most artists, if they work with a measure of honesty and intentionality, will reveal something of their own innards.

Just yesterday, taking my overworked laptop into NorthPark's new Apple Store for an adjustment by one of the geniuses (what their t-shirts say and rightly earned), I was reminded.

Ya got your Neiman-Marcus, your Barneys of New York, your "Five Hammering Men", 1982, Jonathan Borofsky. (Painted wood with ...

Just a few weeks ago, a symposium of curators, writers and art cognoscente entertained the question, "Is Dallas the next New York?" Well, maybe. But only if Al Gore's weather forecast holds up and we're all inconvenienced by standing water at the Guggenheim.

Still, big art stuff really is happening here with increasing frequency. Witness the recent gift of more than 900 important contemporary works to the already not-to-be-sneezed-at holdings ...
