Artists Websites!

Exciting News! Holly Henderson has linked images from her exhibit "Home in East Texas" to her website. Go to www.hollyhenderson.org and click on "Home in East Texas" to see her works. Of course, you still need to come to the Museum to see them large, framed and installed to get the full impact and explanatory captions, but this is a great taste of the exhibit.
For images of the works of David Hendley, you can visit his website at www.farmpots.com and learn all about him and his pottery. His exhibition at the Museum is beautiful, as well.
It's a rainy day today, but we are looking forward to sunshine and big FUN at Dinner and Dancing Under the Stars coming up on April 26th. Call us for more details or to make your reservation at 936.639.4434 or email me at metlufkin@gmail.com and I'll take care of it for you! We look forward to seeing you at the Museum SOON!
