Our current exhibit, on display until May 31, highlights the work of three Texas women artists. San Angelo artist Lisa Curry works with ranch wire that she cleans and meticulously covers in layers of gold leaf. These abstract works are framed or displayed as 3D sculptures. Her work also includes oil paintings. Nathana Cox, also from San Angelo, works in oil and acrylic, painting scenes from everyday life, still life, and figurative work. Her large-scale, richly-toned paintings complement the work of Doylene Land, who works in oil but with a lighter color palette. Doylene, an artist from Breckenridge, created an art installation piece for the gallery. The installation piece is comprised of seven mannequins or dress forms wearing robes that were constructed from vintage quilts and hand-dyed materials, each representing characters from her ancestors.
You are invited to join us on Saturday, April 6, from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. for an artists' reception.
On Sunday, February 18, 2024, the world lost a bright light with the passing of our director, Shalon Taylor Wilson. She became the BFAC Director in June of 2018, and it was her love of art and community made her the perfect fit for this position. Shalon brought art from all over the world to Breckenridge and helped host many fundraiser events through the years. She had a passion for involving local children in the Center’s activities and helped to share her love of art through summer camps and other special events.
We encourage you visit her obituary page and leave a memory you have of Shalon. And for those wanting to make a donation in her memory, donations to the Breckenridge Fine Arts Center can be mailed to 207 N. Breckenridge Ave., Breckenridge, TX 76424.
On display are lavishly decorated gowns and trains that represent some of the grandest festivals in Texas: Buccaneer Days in Corpus Christi, Fiesta in San Antonio, and the Rose Festival in Tyler.
Our collection, consisting of nearly 750 dolls, is housed in a 1300 sq. ft. gallery and represents a lifetime expression of love and devotion — not only for dolls, but for children as well.
In a private gallery filled with natural light, we invite you to come view the 30+ bronze sculptures, the majority of which were donated by the estate of Lester and Virginia Clark.
