The Lone Star State is often associated with the Southwest lifestyle and landscape: cowboy boots, football, longhorn cattle and a dry, dusty, sage-covered terrain, but it also has an unparalleled diversity that has attracted many creative-minded individuals of all walks of life.
From the town of Amarillo in Northern Texas, to the city of San Antonio in the Southern region, there is a plethora of art hubs, along with significant museums and institutions, that cater to the contemporary and representational art scene.
In Houston, the largest city in the state, and where the demographic is one of the most diverse in America, you’ll find cultural epicenters like the Theatre and Museum Districts—home to the popular Contemporary Arts Museum Houston and The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, where they strive to “connect the communities of Houston with diverse histories of art spanning 5,000 years and six continents,” say museum representatives.
Heading north, you’ll reach the very active and populated city of Dallas, boasting one of the “largest urban arts districts in the country,” according to the visitors bureau on their website, www.visitdallas.com. They also note that April is “Arts Month” in Dallas, where many flock to the Dallas Arts District to celebrate. “The 20-square block district is jam packed with fine art museums, performing arts venues, award winning restaurants and so much more,” the website explains.

Next Exit New York
Coming off his series that focused on San Francisco and Los Angeles freeway signs, artist Eric Nash’s sights are now set on New York. Now on view at George Billis Gallery's Manhattan location are seven of Nash's new oil paintings and two drawings that explore the signage of New York City freeways. Although Nash's work is tightly rendered, he doesn’t consider himself a photorealist, but rather someone who utilizes those techniques to express ideas.
