TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY
Opening on Jan. 21, with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m., “Take It From Nature”, a group art exhibition curated by Syd Perkinson, will kick off the new year in Texas State University Galleries’ Flex Space. Featuring the works of 25 Texas State University-affiliated 2D and 3D artists, the exhibition highlights creations deeply connected to or inspired by nature and the natural world.
“Take It From Nature” encourages viewers to closely observe and find inspiration in their sur- roundings. To embody this theme, the exhibition includes an interactive component. Plant propagations from Perkinson’s house plant collection will line the Flex Space gallery, inviting visitors to draw inspiration from them — quite literally draw their inspiration — take the plant and leave the drawing. By leaving a drawing and taking a plant, gallery visitors are making the title “Take It From Nature” all the more literal.
