What Our Partners Are Saying
“Artpace is honored to serve as one of the venues hosting the 2021 Texas Biennial: A New Landscape, A possible Horizon. It’s impressive to see the amazing work done by Ryan Dennis and Evan Garza and the selection of artists for this series of exhibitions that mark such an important time in Texas and beyond. We are proud to see so many old friends of Artpace on the list of selected artists and are excited to become acquainted with the work of many more.”

“FotoFest is thrilled to be partnering with the Texas Biennial and its team. FotoFest's recurring curatorial focus on Texas photographic artists dovetails perfectly with the themes and timing of the 2021 Texas Biennial. Collaboration is at the core of both organizations and generates energy that fuels artistic creation and expression. Our joint exhibition, In Place of an Index, will establish fertile ground upon which the artists and our audiences will explore the relationships between history, memory, and image.”
Steven Evans
Executive Director
FotoFest
“I’m delighted to have Ruby City serve as a venue for this year’s TX Biennial which promises to be a unique and innovative look at the extraordinary, smart work being made here, as well as an investigation into how the state influences artists farther afield. Indeed, this year’s TX Biennial represents how interconnected we’ve all become through online means as a result of COVID-19 but also how important Texas is in terms of being a hotbed of creativity as well as a political, social force that is increasingly shaping our larger country. I look forward to welcoming everyone to what will be a terrific and thought-provoking exhibition.”

“We're very excited to be participating in the 2021 Texas Biennial. At SAMA, we believe it's important to highlight the incredible work and diverse perspectives of artists in our region. Texas is a large state with a rich culture, and we can't wait to show this through our presentation of the biennial.”
Emily Sano
Co-Interim Director
San Antonio Museum of Art
“The McNay is proud to champion the voices of the gifted Texas artists participating in the 2021 Texas Biennial. As the first modern art museum in Texas, we are committed to engaging our state’s diverse community through the joy and discovery of modern and contemporary art. The artists in this year’s Biennial will help us do that better.”
