A Little History About Your Private Collection Art Gallery
Energetically Supporting the Arts for Ten Years
It’s June 2007 and Home by Design Magazine announces “..a new exciting art gallery, featuring local and international artists, now calls Granbury home”. The gallery opened in an 80-year-old house transformed into five rooms of unique, original artworks called Your Private Collection Art Gallery. One great feature of the location was a New Orleans style courtyard garden, which was a great gathering spot for art events and wine tastings.
Stacey Watkins, co-owner and one of the featured artists, was the primary reason for opening the gallery. Stacey had invented a new medium using her knowledge of science along with resin, metals, fused glass and other materials to create works of glow-in-the-dark fantasy. The gallery was a way to introduce this unique art.
According to the other owner, Linda Watkins, “The gallery was a way to introduce Stacey’s unique art. Your Private Collection was also founded on other principles—original art by awarded artists located within a 60 mile radius and displaying a large variety of mediums since art preference is different for each individual. This allows the gallery to work one-on-one with the artists to fill any needs a client might have.”
After one year, the gallery moved from one block off Granbury’s Historical Square to its current location at 106 N. Houston on the square. The three room gallery now represents over 50 artists and has been stated as “a must see” by Southern Living Magazine.
What makes this gallery flourish at a time when many galleries are closing? It is Your Private Collection Art Gallery’s historical location in a top-destination, small town; its renown anchor artists including Soon Y Warren, Sharon Markwardt, Bob Cook, Stacey Watkins, Aaron Thane Tate and Randy Meador and frequent introduction of new artists and art. It is events, like monthly Last Saturday Gallery Nights, which combine art with fun and personal relationships between the artists, clients and guests.
The goal of the gallery is to continue helping clients to build and enjoy their own private collection. A visit to the gallery, its website, www.yourprivatecollection.com , or its Facebook page, shows the results of ten years of energetically supporting the arts.

The winnings of CADD FUNd ($4000) will provide some of the general operating expenses, including rent and utilities for one year, and supplies for community-activating projects that will bring members of the surrounding neighborhoods together to participate in our individual practices.
STUDIO COLLABORATIONS will combine artists and invited guests to work together on projects – taking part in their studio practices. The focus of these interactions will be sharing ideas, backgrounds, and processes. Collaborations will result in the production of a monthly zine to share documentation of artist-community interactions.
ART HAUNT will be an immersive art experience to take place the month of October 2016. Art Haunt will be created by bringing historical artworks known for their surreal and unsettling qualities into three-dimensional form within the Studios. The 2016 Art Haunt will delve into all things subconscious and whimsical through the recreation of iconic works by Salvador Dalí.
About the Winner
Community-based experiences like the idea for Sunset Art Studios inform Rachel Rushing’s personal work – focusing on interconnectivity, photographic materiality, and non-traditional photographic installations. Working in video projection, photographic installation, and sculptural books, she is continually aware of the experience of looking as a connective thread between herself and the viewer. Her specific interest in installation work directly connects with the goals for Sunset Art Studios – to work with local artists to create open and encouraging public-art experiences.The impetus for Sunset Art Studios stems from her five years of experience with Oil and Cotton, an Oak Cliff art supply store, community art school, and hive for creative minds. Through Oil and Cotton she works with the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, creating monthly activities that integrate arts and sciences, and with the Latino Cultural Center, teaching photography and optics to local high school students.
Thank you to our CADD FUNd 2015 sponsors:

The last week of October we will move to our new digs. (Didn’t we just do this last year?!) The studio is moving to a new workshop/retail space in Richardson. The gallery will be moving close by our current location in North Dallas. (Yes, we’re splitting up — but we’re not breaking up!)
We plan to complete both moves quickly and be back open by the 1st of November. Classes and production will resume in the new studio space and we’ll be all geared up for the holidays in the new gallery.

Bob Malenfant and his staff are remodeling a portion of their 16,000 square foot facility to make us a fabulous new 2,300 square foot art glass gallery space.
We plan to complete our move in one week and will be up and running in the new gallery by the 1st of November.
Lot’s of ornaments and other goodies are on their way to arrive in plenty of time for your holiday gift buying!

Work by Phyllida Barlow
DALLAS, Texas (August 10, 2015) – Nasher Sculpture Center announces the formation of a new fund for the acquisition of work by women artists: the Kaleta A. Doolin Acquisitions Fund for Women Artists. Established with the generous seed gift from the foundation named for author, artist, and arts patron Kaleta A. Doolin, the fund will provide an initial $750,000 toward the purchasing of work by women artists, helping substantially grow both the Nasher Sculpture Center’s collection of work by women artists and, with a keen focus on living artists, its contemporary art holdings.
“It is the Nasher Sculpture Center’s great fortune to be granted this generous acquisitions gift, and we could not be more grateful to Ms. Doolin or excited about the possibilities this gift affords,” says Director Jeremy Strick. “To be able to expand and enrich the Collection’s holdings of work made by women artists is of paramount importance, helping round out the permanent collection and highlight the tremendous contributions that women have made, and continue to make, to sculpture.”
The first work to be purchased with the fund will be by the British artist Phyllida Barlow, whose exhibition ‘tryst’ opened at the Nasher in May and runs until August 30, 2015. The acquired work, called untitled:hangingmonument2015, features a large, wrapped, tubular form that hangs horizontally from a tall steel structure. Held aloft by a black rigging strap, the long, heavy column is rendered weightless. For Barlow, the horizontal form in the piece stems from an experience in Texas in 2003 during an artist residency with University of Texas at Dallas when she and her husband, on a drive through the oil fields, witnessed an enormous, amorphous form being extracted from the ground, dripping with oil and muck. Like the other works featured in ‘tryst,’ Barlow made untitled:hangingmonument2015 specifically for the exhibition at the Nasher.
“To begin with the purchase of a work by Phyllida Barlow—an artist at the height of her career, of great influence to younger generations of artists, and with deep ties to the Nasher—is very meaningful for the museum,” continues Mr. Strick. “We look forward to other such tremendous additions to the Nasher Collection that can now be made thanks to this focused and important fund.”
Works acquired through the Kaleta A. Doolin Acquisitions Fund for Women Artists will augment the Nasher Collection’s important sculptures by women artists, including Magdalena Abakanowicz, Nancy Grossman, Barbara Hepworth, and Beverly Pepper.
To learn more about the Kaleta A. Doolin Acquisitions Fund for Women Artists, and for information on how to make a charitable contribution to it, please contact Martha Hess, Director of Development, at +1 214.242.5153 or mhess@nashersculpturecenter.org.

Nearly 50 artists have sent us special works to mark the opening of the new gallery.

And How Do Ya Get There….
 We’re not far away at all — it’s only 266 steps from door to door. And yes… Sandra walked it and counted! We’re still in the same parking lot, only our suite number will change…. to #510. We are across from the new AMC Theater (opening in the Fall) next to a Plucker’s Wing Bar and a HopDoddys Burger Bar (opening in a few weeks…). There will be a Yard House Restaurant back here with us also,as well as an RA Sushi Bar. From the gallery entrance at our old space (#820), go towards Tutti Frutti, then turn left at the stop sign by the fountain. Go to the end of the building and turn right bySebastians Closet. Proceed south to the corner byPluckers, then turn right. We are around the corner just past Pluckers patio on the right across from the new theater construction. Look for the turquoise awning! There is parking out front and around both sides by the restaurants. Also, a huge parking garage… |

NEW GALLERY EXHIBITS FOR MAY
 Receptions for the Artists:
Friday, May 9, 6:00 – 9:00 pm
In the Galleries TAC Featured Artist May 9 – June 28 Possibilities by Cynthia Medanich
Medanich uses the butterfly as a symbol of the transformations in her life. MORE
May 9 – June 21
Focus Gallery One élan by Tamara Robertson
Tamara Robertson reveals the beauty of commonplace objects by placing them in a context to be experienced aesthetically anew. She thrives on the influence of her surroundings, thus many of her materials come from her sojourns across Texas and her local environment on the shores of Lake Nacogdoches. Her work is fueled by contrasts – rusted and shiny, light and heavy, delicate and rugged. MORE
Focus Gallery Two Gathering by Skyler McGee Inspired by an Iranian insect that builds its nest from surrounding flower petals, McGee recreates a visual exploration of building a home. She chronicles the delicate beauty, the uncertainty, and the tensions discovered in the processes of creating refuge. As a gathering can be both a collection of resources as well as a communal event, this work catalogs how the construction of a home draws from both the relationship to the natural world and the relationships created with one another. In the Galleries May 9 – 30
Celebration of the Unconscious by Philip Bechtel The paintings of Philip Bechtel represent an effort to dialogue with and give physical dimension to Bechtel’s unconscious. MORE
Night Shift A display of works from an oil painting class made up of a group of adults who are professionals by day but transform into right-brain expressives by night. MORE Cultivating Conversations by Lori Phillips Lori Phillips’ work sprouts from forms and texture found in the natural world, and uses their unique textures and forms to create an ambiguous anatomy of her own invention. MORE
Swallowed Whole by Rachel Fischer Rachel Fischer explores concepts of the breakdown of objectivity and materiality by starting with a physical sculpture and then reinterpreting it through camera and paint. MORE FW15 FW15 groups together fifteen creative and passionate female visual artists in Fort Worth to showcase their art. MORE
PAINT The dozen members of Professional Artists In North Texas are known for their plein air landscape paintings, but they also are skilled in still life and figurative works. MORE
Organic Abstractions Two painters explore the abstract in these new works. MORE |

Zhulong Gallery Brings New Light and New Media to Dallas’ Art Scene
Newest staple on Dragon Street aims to introduce New Media to Dallas art enthusiasts
The gallery opened in April with their inaugural exhibition, Satellite. Open until May 10th, 2014, the exhibition features eleven artists who frame the space as a hub for receiving and transmitting ideas. Upcoming exhibitions include solo exhibitions by Alexandra Gorczynski, Jeremy Couillard, and James Geurts.
[Dallas, TX – May 2nd, 2014] – Located on Dragon Street in the Dallas Design District, Zhulong Gallery is a groundbreaking contemporary art space dedicated to New Media. Providing noteworthy contemporary artists with an innovative, technology-driven space for display, exhibitions will showcase work created from or focusing on new and emerging technologies. With this Zhulong Gallery looks forward to showcasing a diverse variety of works ranging from video and film installations as well as sculptures and paintings.
Zhulong Gallery (pronounced chú-long) takes its namesake from a mythical Chinese deity, which translates to “torch dragon.” The legendary creature controlled the shift from day to night with a blink of its eye and seasons with the rhythm of its breath. The gallery embraces this myth for its poetic understanding of earthly phenomena and seeks to shed light on New Media art, serving as a link between art and technology. Additionally, the renovated gallery space embodies the mythical creature, its full glass façade breathing light onto Dragon Street while the interior stretches back, mimicking the serpentine body.
Director Aja Martin defined the gallery’s purpose as: “showcasing contemporary artists who acknowledge the prevalence of technology in our everyday lives. Our vision is to propel the continued development and discussion about the medium and become a leading institution for New Media,” explains Martin. “We hope to become a cultural institution with strong ties to Dallas arts and promote collaboration.”
Aja Martin – Gallery Director
Martin brings a variety of curatorial experience to the gallery as she has previously worked for the Nasher Sculpture Center, The Dallas Museum of Art, the Blaffer Contemporary in Houston, Texas and Mexic-Arte Museum in Austin, Texas. She has also consulted with non-profits, including the Aurora Project, La Reunion TX, and the Meadows Forum for Art and Urban Engagement. Martin has also been published in print and online publications. Her research, presented both locally and nationally, focuses on Modern and Contemporary art and specializes in acculturated spaces, site-specific art and the fluidity of art and design. Martin earned her Master’s degree in Art History from Southern Methodist University in 2011. As an active member of the arts profession for more than a decade, she serves as vice president of the Texas Chapter of Women’s Caucus of Art. Her cultivated understanding of the complex relationship between technology and art, new media and design practices, and her knowledge, gained through work with major art institutions, writing, and research, make her the right visionary for Zhulong Gallery.
Katherine Siegwarth – Assitant Director
Rounding out the gallery team is Katherine Siegwarth, assistant director. Siegwarth earned a Masters of Art from the University of Arizona, focusing on contemporary photography while also earning a Certificate in Museum Studies. Siegwarth previously worked for the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art as well as the Center for Creative Photography in Tuscon, Arizona. Making the move to North Texas, Siegwarth recently served as the Luce Curatorial Fellow at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, where she curated several exhibitions, including Big Pictures. Now, Siegwarth works alongside Martin to help seek and create a diverse range of exhibitions and related programming at Zhulong Gallery.

FORT WORTH, Texas–The Amon Carter Museum of American Art, the Dallas Museum of Art and the Nasher Sculpture Center announced today that together these three North Texas museums are adding more than a combined 1,700 high-resolution works of art to the Google Art Project. The Art Project allows online visitors to explore the museums’ paintings, sculptures and other objects virtually.
Highlights from the 1,200 images submitted by the Amon Carter showcase work by some of the greatest names in American art, such as Mary Cassatt, John Singer Sargent and James McNeill Whistler, along with 200 photographs from the collection. The DMA contributed images from the Museum’s encyclopedic collection, which spans 5,000 years of human creativity. Highlights from the more than 500 works of art the DMA submitted include Sheaves of Wheat by Vincent van Gogh and a gold Sicán ceremonial mask from Peru. The Nasher’s submissions from their internationally acclaimed collection of modern and contemporary sculpture include Auguste Rodin’s The Age of Bronze and Mark di Suvero’s Eviva Amore. The resolution of these images, combined with a custom-built zoom viewer, allows art lovers to discover minute aspects of objects they likely have never seen up close before.
Visitors to the Google Art Project can browse works by the artist’s name, the artwork, the type of art, the museum, the country, collections and the time period. Google+ and video hangouts are integrated on the site, allowing viewers to invite their friends to view and discuss their favorite works in a video chat or follow a guided tour from an expert to gain an appreciation of a particular topic or art collection.
The “My Gallery” feature allows users to save specific views of any works of art and build their own personalized gallery. Comments can be added to each painting, and the whole gallery can then be shared with friends and family. It’s an ideal tool for students or groups to work on collaborative projects or collections. In addition, a feature called “Compare” allows you to examine two pieces of artwork side-by-side to look at how an artist’s style evolved over time, connect trends across cultures or delve deeply into two parts of the same work. To date, more than 57,000 high-resolution objects are available in the Art Project.
The Art Project is part of the Google Cultural Institute, which is dedicated to creating technology that helps the cultural community bring their art, archives, heritage sites and other material online. The aim is to increase the range and volume of material from the cultural world that is available for people to explore online and, in doing so, democratize access to it and preserve it for future generations.
