Lots of art stuff happening in Dallas this weekend and I am so looking forward to my visit. 
Family Ties, co-curated by Bonny Leibowitz and Julie Torres "celebrates the limitless potential of artist supporting artists, " and I am so pleased to have been invited to participate and share the experience. The Dallas Art Fair is happening this weekend as well so much to do about Art in Dallas this weekend in April. I hope to see you there. 

Brooklyn-based painter Julie Torres and artist Bonny Leibowitz of Dallas, TX have partnered to co-curate a unique exhibition of 80+ artists from Brooklyn, 40+ local Dallas artists and several like-minded artists from around the country, in "Family Ties." 
Torres' recent "Family Style" exhibitions in NYC are the inspiration for this community-expanding project. Leibowitz and Torres share an affinity for the participating artists' exciting work and for collaboratively organized exhibits. 
"Family Ties" celebrates the limitless potential of artists supporting artists.

Julie Torres is a painter and arts organizer in NYC and will be in attendance for the opening. 
Bonny Leibowitz is an artist and "Family Ties" co-curator living in Dallas.
