Unveiled at last week's anniversary gala, "Tyler Museum of Art - Cascade" was commissioned as part of our 55th anniversary celebration.

Created by Texas artist Kyle Hobratschk, who was on site earlier this year to make an initial plein air sketch, the etching celebrates the institution's unique architecture.

The etching was produced in an edition of 30 and is available for $300 (plus tax). All of the edition's proceeds directly benefit our General Acquisitions Fund.

Purchases can be made through the TMA Gift Shop or by contacting Nola Chaffin at [email protected] or (903) 595-1001.
