Connecting Stories: Texas in 1776

Museums often celebrate the artists whose works they exhibit, while the stories of the collectors and donors who preserve these works remain largely untold. Yet, collectors play a vital role in safeguarding cultural heritage, recognizing the importance of artists and artworks long before they enter museum collections. This exhibition highlights a selection of two-dimensional works from the Sandoval Collection, featuring photographs, prints, drawings, and other works on paper and canvas. Alongside these artworks are photographs and illustrations of Juan Sandoval, offering visitors a glimpse into the life of the collector whose vision, curiosity, and dedication made this remarkable collection possible.
