STEPHENVILLE, Texas — The Tarleton State University Department of Visual Arts and Design and The Langdon Center in Granbury will host the 26th Annual Rio Brazos Annual Juried Art Exhibition each weekend from April 6-21.

The exhibition, featuring the works of 51 artists, will be on view at the Langdon Center Concert Hall on Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m., with a closing reception at 2 p.m. Sunday, April 21.

The reception is open to the public and will include a chance to meet juror, Fort Worth artist Timothy Harding, who will talk with participating artists and present awards. 

“As usual, we have an eclectic list of artists coming from as near as Granbury to as far away as California, Florida and New York,” said Chris Ireland, exhibition coordinator and Head of the Department of Visual Arts and Design. “It is truly a special occasion to see this level of contemporary art on display in one place for the people of Granbury and the Dallas-Fort Worth area”. As always, proceeds from the exhibition will go to support student scholarships in the studio art and digital media studies programs at Tarleton State.
