Anyone interested in a guided tour of Nasher Sculpture Center

The current exhibit runs through the end of April. We could arrange for a guided tour, tickets are $8 if we buy in advance $10 day of tour. Open Wed-Sun, Saturday or Sunday afternoons are best for me but weekdays might work.

The Harry Bertoia exhibit is incredible with welded,cast,jewelry and printworks, I’ve seen it once but want to go back again.

If you are interested in a Makerspace group tour reply to this post, could be in next few weeks or March early April.

Sounds interesting, here is another exhibit that may be of interest, this one is a retrospective of Octavio Medellin, a Mexican born artist/sculptor/teacher who spent 40 years in Dallas, founding what now is the Creative Arts Center. It’s at the Dallas Museum of Art, I think it’s free. Right across from the Nasher.

FYI, the meters can use ParkMobile app. So you dont have to worry about carrying change.
