San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts
True Texas: Folk & Traditional Arts of the Concho Valley

San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts proudly presents, True Texas II: Folk & Traditional Arts from the Concho Valley to the Rio Grande, 
 
From the familiar—intricate hand sewn quilts and finely engraved silver belt buckles—to the more obscure—custom built spinning wheels to life-size “La Catrina” figures crafted with brown paper, the exhibit will give visitors a rare, first ever opportunity to view the work of 30 juried folk and traditional artists--generational folk/traditional art forms that have helped shape the unique character of the region.
 
An outgrowth of fieldwork carried out last fall by folklorist Douglas Manger across nine of the 18 counties served by the museum, the exhibit will be presented in the museum’s two state-of-the-art top tier galleries under the direction of Howard Taylor, director of the museum, and Laura Huckaby, exhibit designer. 
 
The exhibit will run from September 22 through November 27, 2022 and is made possible through generous support from the National Endowment for the Arts, Texas Bank, Texas Commission on the Arts and Texas Folklife.​
