Teacher Appreciation at the Briscoe

Teacher Appreciation at the Briscoe
In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, teachers and educators can lasso art, culture and history for free at the Briscoe Western Art Museum May 3 – 6. Educators can simply present their school ID or proof of employment to receive free admission – and a 10% in the Briscoe’s Hendler Family Museum Store.
The Briscoe offers free tours to students of all ages as well as an outreach program, educational materials and activity sheets to help educators share the West with their students. The teacher appreciation special includes the closing weekend of the museum’s Night of Artists Exhibition and Sale. From scenic landscapes and stunning sculptures to inspired Native Americans, vaqueros and charreadas, more than 280 works by today’s top Western artists are on display through May 5. One of the premier Western Art exhibitions in the world, Night of Artists features new works of painting, sculpture and mixed media by 86 leading contemporary Western artists. Once the exhibition concludes, the works join private collections, making Night of Artists the only opportunity to view the collection.
