Weekend Happenings

This weekend, my plans include…


Cheering for my husband as he runs in the Cowtown Half Marathon on Saturday morning. Raleigh is an amazing runner and has finished in the top 10 the past 4 years. Run Raleigh Run!! http://www.cowtownmarathon.org/

If you happen to be an early riser, and don’t have any plans, I would highly recommend coming out to support all the local runners. Over 18,000 runners have registered for the race already. Runners from every state in the county, as well as those from foreign countries will compete. Not only is this race a huge event for the city of Fort Worth, I know all the runners would greatly appreciate the support!



Visiting the Andy Warhol Exhibit at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth

Andy Warhol:
The Last Decade
February 14-May 16, 2010

Andy Warhol: The Last Decade is the first U.S. museum survey exhibition to explore the work that this seminal American artist produced during the final eight years of his life. Warhol entered a period of renewed vigor and enthusiasm in the 1980s that resulted in what was arguably the most productive period of his career.

The exhibition includes approximately 55 works lent by private collections and institutions such as The Museum of Modern Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Baltimore Museum of Art, and Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh. Along with an introduction to Warhol, it is divided into thematic sections based on significant Warhol series: abstract works; collaborations (featuring Jean-Michel Basquiat); black-and-white ads; works surrounding death and religion; self-portraits; camouflage patterns; and a concluding section of the artist’s Last Supper series.


Andy Warhol: The Last Decade is organized by the Milwaukee Art Museum.
