White Rock East Garden & Artisans Tour

The White Rock East Garden & Artisans Tour is the weekend after this one, Sunday, May 18 from 11:00 to 5:00.

Here's the gardens:

Forest Hills:

8407 San Pedro Parkway
Across the street is the plant sale at the Park at San Pedro and St. Francis
8152 Santa Clara
8325 Forest Hills

The tour is free. There will be local artists selling their art in each of the gardens. Proceeds from tour donations and raffle tickets are split between the 3 neighborhoods for their beautification programs. In my opinion it's the neighborhood party of the year.

Hello East Dallas Art Gardens

What am I doing starting a blog about gardens with art in East Dallas?  Art in the garden is where I want to be now.  This welded steel and fused glass "butterfly leaf" I made last fall for display at the State Fair of Texas is now on display at the Dallas Arboretum.  The Texas Sculpture Association is celebrating it's 25th anniversary and the board was asked to find venues for the members to show this year.  I asked the Arboretum if they would allow us to come in and display our art.  My wonderful Partner In Art, Cynthia and I got it together and with the help of Nan Phillips, the President and Brenda Guyton, our webmaster.  Brenda sent out a "call to artists" and we installed  twenty TSA artists and their sculptures Saturday and Sunday March 1st and 2nd.  The art is on a pathway leading to the old main gate and looks incredible in the Arboretum gardens.  I'm hoping the Arboretum,  www.dallasarboretum.org/ will spotlight us in future publicity.  We will be there six weeks and then begin another rotation.  Check out the www.txssculpture.com website for pictures of all the pieces and my website, www.lottieminick.com for more of my pieces.
