An Afternoon of American Art

Explore the beauty of the Blanton with a private, VIP tour of its newest exhibition, American Modernism from the Charles Butt Collection: From Edward Hopper to Alma Thomas. The latest collection is the first of Charles Butt, one of Texas’ most prominent businessmen and philanthropists, featuring more than 80 rarely seen works of American modern art from distinguished artists like Edward Hopper, Ellsworth Kelly, Jacob Lawrence, Joan Mitchell, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Alma Thomas. The Museum’s Education Director will tour the intimate party through the exhibit, providing expert commentary on the works that span from the late 19th century through the 1970s. With the largest and most comprehensive collection of art in Central Texas, the spectacular Blanton Museum of Art is one of only four select venues to host this exclusive exhibition. After exploring the Museum exhibit, guests will enjoy delicious food and cocktails in a private room at Tapville Social, just across the street. Enjoy an exclusive afternoon of art and culture!
