Santa Cruz Modern Art
Considering this is modern art, I doubt this blog will be
well read. That’s too bad, since art is
one of the most definitive expressions of a culture.
Dallas has some pretty cool modern art museums, like the Nasher
Sculpture Center, and across the county line in Fort Worth there is the Fort
Worth Museum of Modern Art. Both of
those are large permanent exhibits in very interesting architectural settings.
Santa Cruz does not quite reach the level of sophistication
of those museums, but that does not mean they are neglecting the arts. It seems that Santa Cruz has a very
interesting modern art scene.
I have already told you about the Manzana 1. I think they change their exhibition about
once a month. Today they had an artist that seemed to have a preoccupation with death. Note the rows of rainbow colored coffins.
The Casa de Cultura, House of Culture, usually presents
plays, but also has art exhibitions.
Both of these art galleries are free and rarely crowded. It is interesting to see how the young artists
of Santa Cruz see the world.
