Octavio Medellín (1907-1999) was an influential Mexican American artist and teacher whose work helped shape the Texas art scene for six decades. The DMA is proud to present Octavio Medellín: Spirit and Form, the first-ever museum retrospective for the noted sculptor. The exhibition will include approximately 80 works, exploring the evolution of Medellín’s sculptural practice, his public art commissions, and his legacy as a beloved and respected teacher. During the more than 40 years he lived and worked in the Dallas area, Medellín influenced generations of students as an instructor at the school of the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts and as founder of the Creative Arts Center.

Fiddler on the Roof, Ursaline Academy

We went to see Fiddler on the Roof at Ursaline Academy, where MCC alum Whitney Coulter teaches costume and makeup classes.  Whitney designed the costumes for the show.  I got to meet her colleagues and her students.  The talent there is amazing, such good singers and dancers.
