Throughout the year, The Artist's Eye is on the first Sunday of each month (except talks held on the second Sunday of April and July, due to the Easter and Independence Day holidays). A Texas artist talks about works in the Menil Collection from the permanent collection or in a temporary exhibition that has special meaning to him or her. The public is invited to these free, informal gallery discussions, which can be held in any Menil gallery, the library, or building (or outdoor space) of the artist’s choosing and begin at 3 p.m.
