SAMFA's Grand Re-Opening

The San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts will celebrate its Grand Re-Opening the first quarter
of 2024, and we want you to join us!

Under our beautiful new copper roof, we’ll premiere exciting events, world-class
exhibitions, and reimagined programming that will attract visitors from far beyond this
region, which will help our local economy. For example, we anticipate thousands of
visitors
 will view the N.C. Wyeth exhibition in January. That’s just the beginning!

Be part of SAMFA’s bright new future! 
Thank you in advance for celebrating with us and supporting our mission
to serve this community exceptionally well!

Laura Huckaby
Interim Director, Curator
San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts

 N.C. Wyeth and the Golden Age of American Illustration
January 19 – March 31, 2024

This intimate selection of works from the collection of Joel and Suzanne Sugg features seldom-seen
paintings by N.C. Wyeth (1882 - 1945), the patriarch of the Wyeth dynasty of painters.
The exhibit also includes works by his contemporary, Frank Schoonover (1877 – 1972), and their teacher, Howard Pyle (1853 – 1911).
The art in the exhibit is accompanied by the published works their paintings were created to illustrate. Best known for their iconic
illustrations of adventure novels, Wyeth and Schoonover (and Pyle before them) helped to define the familiar
imagery associated with pirates, Robin Hood, and other characters of popular literature.

Microscape: A Studio Art Quilt Associates Global Exhibition
January 19 – March 31, 2024

Our known world stretches far beyond what we can see with the unaided eye. Microscopes, magnifying glasses, and virtual
imaging techniques reveal a world of great beauty and complexity. That world contains the smallest particles, tiniest organisms,
smallest landscape, or natural details and provides us with an abundance of artistic inspiration. The art quilts in the exhibit
explore a corner of the world at high magnification, capturing tiny wonders at the
microscopic level, or by zooming in on a larger object to show its smallest details.
