Galveston: Drawings, Mobster Architecture and Brothels
By Kelly Klaasmeyer on December 3, 2012
I headed down to Galveston last Friday to see “The Drawing Room, Part 2,” yet another fine offering from curator Clint Willour at the Galveston Art Center and to check out the old Sam Maceo house. Galveston is always full of surprises, I stumbled across a brothel along the way. Organized crime boss Salvatore “Sam” [...]

There has been a ridiculous amount of controversy surrounding these fairs, a classic tempest in a teapot involving leaked email, competing fair organizers and collectors and galleries picking teams and various board members from the Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston, [...]

Michael Guidry at the Galveston Art Center
By Kelly Klaasmeyer on June 21, 2011
I love Galveston. But, like Houston, it’s an acquired taste. It’s got lovely old buildings in various states of decay interspersed with not-so-lovely and downright crappy structures.
