by
Stephen Fox

Stephen Fox will explore this question in his talk about the exhibition
and the city that inspired it.
The lecture is being held in conjunction with the exhibition,
South and North of the Border: Houston Paints Houston
The museum gallery will be open 6:00 - 7:00 pm prior to the lecture
