Art Mediums: Paintings and Sculptures 

Duo exhibition featuring Jenny Knapp and Monte Arst.

In this exhibition, we witness the dedication of two artists who layer symbols and materials that bring comfort and stability to one’s self through repetition. As we seek to find sanctuary in a time when uncertainty surrounds us, our patterns of behavior have the power to bring awareness to that in which we can control by establishing an understanding of what we cannot. WRAP, CROSS, REPEAT is a negotiation between the beauty of the human condition and the suffering we experience that unites us all.

On display in the Main Gallery. 

Art Mediums: Ceramics and Poetry

Group exhibition featuring Ciara McCaughy, Larrida Murphy, and Brandon Murphy titled GOLDEN REPAIR.

To honor Black History Month, this group of artists has taken the Japanese art of Kintsugi which is a technique known as, “golden repair” used in repairing pottery with gold or silver lacquer as a philosophy to treat the breakage and expose its damage as opposed to disguising it to be something it is not. Metaphorically, this technique is a way for these artists who are Black and Disabled as a way for them to examine the many parts that make them who they are and to honor each part as not being “broken” by life’s experiences, trauma, and heartache, but pieced together by each account and desire that makes each life uniquely whole, worthy, deserving…beautiful. Poems and written word statements accompany this body of ceramic artwork and examine the raw emotions of what it means to be Black and Disabled in today’s society. 

On display in the Patricia A. Peer Window Gallery. 

Sense of Place celebrates the varied and dynamic experiences of people as they navigate and interact with their environments. This rotating space features artists that offer unique perspectives on how places are known, imagined, yearned for, held, remembered, voiced, lived, contested, and struggled over. This exhibition not only advances the creative arts experience, but the promotion of artwork that is accessible to individuals who are blind, visually impaired, or have other disabilities. Join us in exploring the profound and nuanced connections between people and the places they inhabit.

Group exhibition featuring artist Tomas Bustos and his students from Envision.

Art Mediums: Sculpture 

The Envision Arts Gallery is proud to welcome Texas-based sculptor, Tomas Bustos, in an exhibition titled Masterpiece Relief for the Blind.

Masterpiece Relief for the Blind is the name of a nonprofit arts education program based in Texas, whose mission is to promote and create opportunities for the education, discovery, and celebration of art history through the sense of touch for individuals with vision loss. The exhibition of Masterpiece Relief for the Blind will be highlighting ceramic sculptures and pottery made in the Envision Dallas art program by students who are blind or visually impaired, as well as original works by Tomas Bustos.

Tomas Bustos' bas-relief, cast bronze works are a testament to his passion for recreating iconic masterpieces through a unique and tactile approach. This exhibition at the Envision Arts Gallery will showcase his talents as an artist and his reverence for some of the most famous works in art history. They will take the viewer on a journey from graphite renderings, clay, and plaster reliefs to the final rendition in bronze. From his reinterpretation of the "Mona Lisa" to his recreation of "Starry Night," viewers will be transported to the world of classic art, brought to life through the artist's distinctive techniques. 

Throughout the evening you can meet the artists, experience their artwork, and participate in art activities inspired by the exhibition.
