Not-So-Lone Star Studios: A Gathering of Texas Makers

September 15 – December 8, 2019

Jess Tolbert Staple Wear

Not-So-Lone Star Studios: A Gathering of Texas Makers highlights work from 34 artists and makers currently residing in Texas whose creative practices engage in the conceptual dialogue of contemporary jewelry and metalsmithing. As a rule, artists have been invited through a word-of-mouth selection process. In this way, a survey of makers has been collected organically through a series of personal recommendations further narrowed by standards of conceptual integrity.

In conjunction with the exhibition, The Museum of Texas Tech will host the 2019 Texas Metals Symposium on October 12, an event open to the Public. For more on the Symposium, click here.
