Artpace in Fort Worth for the opening of Focus: Teresita Fernandez
Artpace Board member and 98.4 Fellow Teresita Fernandez opened a new exhibition at The Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth, TX on Friday, April 15, 2011. The show consists of three installations, including a large graphite piece, Epic, which reportedly includes more than 10,000 pieces. The exhibition will be on view at The Modern until June 19, 2011.

While in the Dallas-Fort Worth area to celebrate Teresita, Artpace was also treated to a special behind-the-scenes look at the Cowboys Stadium art collection. Our friendly guide, Phil Whitfield, showed us another breath-taking installation by Teresita Fernandez on view at the stadium titled Starfield.

Mary Heathcott
Surely you’ve seen Deputy Director Mary Heathcott around Artpace, as she’s been a regular fixture for more than six years (only Riley has her beat). A native Texan, she adopted the Midwest in the early ’00s as her home, but returned to San Antonio after getting a Master’s degree at the University of Chicago and cutting her teeth in the museum world at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. A self-proclaimed sandwich connoisseur, she recommends you order the Torta El Tacomiendo the next time you join us for Taco Friday.
