HCG had it’s opening reception for Floyd Newsum’s “Compositions, Marks, & Arrangements” on 3/21 and of course yours truly was there in full effect! I remember this opening particularly well because I decided to carry a very large ’80’s green pleather clutch purse (I promise it’s not as tacky as it sounds!), but I could never quite figure out how to hold my bag, sip my wine, AND shake hands as I mingled. Anywho, aside from my personal disaster the exhibit is magnificent and will be on display through April 11 so you still have a few days to go check it out.
Now if you don’t know who Floyd Newsum is…you should! He is a well respected mentor in the industry, and aside from his fantastic artwork he is truly a phenomenal person. After the opening reception, I was lucky enough to be able to attend a private talk with the artist and it is an understatement to say that I was blown away by now only his artistic genius, but also by the group of people that he attracts. I had the pleasure of being in the company of some amazing African American art collectors and community leaders who truly inspired me and made me realize that I have so much to learn!
Special shout out to Vicki Meek of the South Dallas Culture Center for being so welcoming, but most of all for helping me get into the gate!
