On Friday, November 13th, I attended the opening reception of the shows "FROM THE AREA" by Francisco Moreno and "the wants and needs of a fearful life" by Arthur Pena. Both of these exhibitions took place at the Latino Cultural Center in Dallas, TX.
I enjoyed the reception quite a bit, and it was one of the first opening receptions that I had ever gone to in Dallas. I also enjoyed the exposure I was receiving to a new venue for art in Dallas. My focus while being there was on establishing at least one new contact. I started with who I already knew, namely Arthur Pena, and had him point out a few of the people in the room that I should get to know. From there, I tried my best to mingle. I met a few old friends that have already graduated from UNT there, and I also noticed that I recognized a few members of the Dallas press mingling about as well. I ran into on of my professors from UNT at the reception and spoke with him for a bit. By the end of the evening I had accomplished my goal by having a lengthy conversation with Francisco Moreno about his work. I left him with my name and congratulations and left the event satisfied.
