Blanton

The Blanton is known as much for its ambitious program schedule, including the monthly art party B Scene, as it is for the world-class art collection adorning the walls. With curators taking risks in the museum's project space – Lisi Raskin and Jim Drain are two recent exhilarating examples – and university scholars' carefully studied surveys of neglected moments in art history (the Park Place Gallery), the Blanton is much more than a repository for past masters. It's a place where are is active, connecting wtih viewers in teh present and moving toward the future.
