Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $12,500 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
The good people at the Belmont Hotel support the arts, they really do. Every six weeks, the Belmont selects a new artist from around the region to serve as artist-in-residence at the ritzy North Oak Cliff hotspot. From there, the hotel’s lobby, bar and select hallways transform into a top-notch art exhibit complete with original art, fancy-shmancy lighting and obligatory “ooohs” and “ahhhs” from curious passersby. This week, the Belmont’s Art With a View begins exhibiting the works of Andrea Rogers, Austin-based graphic artists and photographer extraordinaire. To say her work is diverse would be a tremendous understatement: From sweeping landscape shots to Kandinsky-esque abstract paintings, Rogers’ work is a grab bag of Texas-bred artsy goodness. A reception featuring Rogers will be held at Bar Belmont, 901 Fort Worth Ave., from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday. Her work will remain on display for the subsequent six weeks for all to see, free of charge.
