Q: Have there been any prior locations? A: Our office was previously located at the Stephenville Parks and Recreation hall, prior to moving to our current location in 2001 at 204 River North Blvd. Q: What types of artists are displayed? A: Our exhibits have featured a wide range of ages from students as young as 5 and older. Q: What varieties of art and styles have been displayed? A: We have exhibits that include photography, sculpture, collage, watercolors, oils and acrylics on a variety of mediums - and more.
A: The beauty of what we do as an arts council is to provide art experiences to everyone. And each person experiences our exhibits differently. Q: What else should we know about CTFAC and the arts in the Cross Timbers region? A: The CTFAC’s River North Gallery is proud to host 12 exhibits a year to feature a wide range of local artistic talent. Last year we featured recycled artwork from Stepheville High School and Tarleton State University students, Opal Black and her students, Pat Shoemake’s hand-hooked rugs, Ethel Lewallen, and the Town and Country Quilt Guild to name a few.
Another example is Robert Summers of Glen Rose who was commissioned to create the bronze of John Wayne at the Orange County Airport in California – among many other prestigious commissions. http://www.summersstudio.com/ Q: What is the most interesting work you have had displayed?
