There is so much great art happening in Denton now, especially at the Greater Denton Arts Council. You should stop in to the Gough Gallery for VAST’s (Visual Arts Society of Texas) 11th Annual 125-mile Visual Arts Exhibition. The exhibit features art of all mediums submitted by artists that live within a 125 mile radius of Denton. While at the exhibit, be sure to check out the Composite of the Soul exhibition that we talked about last week! Read on for more.

Have ya’ll heard of the “rule of three”? It’s the idea that things that come in three’s are inherently more satisfying, memorable and effective than any other number of things (“ready, set, go”, “lights, camera, action”, etc.). Well, we’ve got a triple decker artist feature for you today! 3 local artists for the price of one! Ka-pow!
These guys are teaming up with our beloved GDAC (Greater Denton Arts Council) to bring you their most recent works, so we sat down with them to chat about their upcoming show, the benefits of “doing art” in Denton, the importance of human conversation, and why Beyonce may or may not be the inspiration for everything. Read on to discover the truth of 3 out of 4 of those things (hint: Beyonce is not one of them).

Anyone remember doing those “lock-In” events when you were in Junior High? We do — rollerblading around a basement, playing Truth or Dare, watching whatever the cult classic was at the time for a youth, guzzling two liter bottles of Surge. Ya’ll, remember Surge? We think it’s since been outlawed. If these memories are sweet ones for you, we have good news! You have a chance to relive your zestful youth! And if these images are less than savory to you, here’s a chance to redeem what an “all-nighter” can mean. This Friday, April 1st, the Greater Denton Arts Council (GDAC) is hosting ARTS ALL NIGHT, a fun-filled event running from 6pm-6am! Read on to let us convince you why this is the best way to pull an all-nighter.

You don’t have to look around very long to stumble upon great art in Denton. It’s blossoming all around us, all the time. An abundance of new art is just one of the reasons why we love this town. Sometimes finding great art just takes putting on pants and leaving the house.
Last Friday evening a few of us did just that and walked down to the Greater Denton Arts Council (GDAC) to check out the opening of their latest exhibition: Materials: Hard + Soft (National Contemporary Craft Competition and Exhibition). If you’ve got the gallery itch and are curious to see what the GDAC has brought in, this stop is worth your time. Read on to learn more, to catch a glimpse of our favorites, and to find out how you can see it for yourself!
