SUMMARY:Wildflowers: A Pop-Up Exhibit by Jason Archer
DESCRIPTION:Wildflowers: A Pop-Up Exhibit by Jason Archer is the result of sowing creative seeds\, which arrive and bloom as solo and collaborative artworks that capture his iconic characters in unrestricted expressions through medium\, color and form.\n\n\n\nAbout the Artist: Jason Archer is an American visual artist and a driving force in Austin’s contemporary art scene. Blending Pop Art with cultural archetypes\, his work creates modern myths that reimagine history\, ritual\, and natural phenomena through a distinctly Texas lens.\n\n\n\nWorking across disciplines as a director\, animator\, painter\, and muralist\, Archer’s practice spans solo exhibitions\, collaborative projects\, commissioned works\, and large-scale commercial partnerships.\n\n\n\nArcher’s work often incorporates political satire and iconic\, Texas-inspired characters such as Jesus Cornbread & the Alcoholics and Stray of the Dead. His early career in animation earned him both a Grammy and an MTV Video of the Year Award for directing and animating Frijolero\, a music video for the Mexican rock band Molotov. In 2019\, he contributed animation work to Amazon’s Emmy-nominated series Undone. From 2011–2018\, he helped reignite Austin’s mural culture as the producer and curator of Frank Public Art.\n\n\n\nHe is the co-owner of Show Goat Mural Works\, a mural company specializing in the design and installation of large-scale indoor and outdoor works\, with projects including Austin FC’s Q2 Stadium\, the Moody Center\, the Contemporary Austin\, Ottine Mineral Springs\, and ongoing collaborations with the Hi\, How Are You Project to preserve and expand the legacy of Daniel Johnston.\n\n\n\nIn addition to his public and commercial work\, Archer has participated in numerous art shows\, exhibitions\, and cultural events including Austin City Limits\, Chelsea Market\, Chianti Weekend\, SXSW\, and the inaugural Pop Austin International Art Show. He is also the curator of Preacher Gallery\, a contemporary art gallery in Austin\, Texas\, where he continues to champion emerging and established artists and foster creative culture and community.\n.\nArtist Social Media\nInstagram • @designatedbadass\nFacebook • Jason Archer

SUMMARY:Museum Menagerie
DESCRIPTION:Museum Menagerie brings the animal kingdom indoors. Drawn entirely from the R.W. Norton Art Gallery’s permanent collection\, it features works in a variety of media\, including sculptures\, drawings\, paintings\, prints\, and more.
