SUMMARY:Shifting Subjects: Heroes of the West: Exhibition Opening
DESCRIPTION:The first hero was nature herself; sweeping landscapes awed early audiences and are still prominent in modern pieces. Then\, the people took their turn. Though early depictions of cowboys and Native Americans were often flawed in interpretation and depiction\, it is the heroic moments of perseverance within a harsh landscape that made them worthy of immortalization through art. Finally\, wildlife stole the focus. \nThe simple yet powerful balance animals create in nature harmonized the disruptiveness of people and the emptiness of a landscape. Each of these subjects has created visual lessons on what the West is\, was\, and how it has changed today. \nAdmission to the Museum and it’s exhibitions is always free. Shifting Subjects: Heroes of the West is on view April 2 through May 31.

SUMMARY:Home\, Love\, and Loss: Exhibition Opening
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition is the third in a series of American art exhibitions created through a multiyear\, multi-institutional partnership formed by the Amon Carter Museum of American Art as part of the Art Bridges Cohort Program. Bringing together more than 66 works from the collection of Art Bridges\, the Amarillo Museum of Art\, Art Museum of South Texas\, Amon Carter Museum of American Art\, and the Ellen Noël Art Museum\, this exhibition features family lifecycles from aging to death. This collection of works\, comprised of paintings\, photographs\, works on paper\, and video\, delves into the milestones and challenges of family and community life—from birth to aging\, and from the bonds of joy to the fractures of loss. The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on how we form families and communities; how those relationships are disrupted by adversity\, such as illness\, poverty\, or immigration; and how they are fortified through love\, celebration\, and resilience.

SUMMARY:Basin PBS Announces 2026 Main Street Live Featuring Country Icon Travis Tritt
DESCRIPTION:Basin PBS is proud to announce the return of Main Street Live\, presented by the Anwar Family\, West Texas’ signature outdoor concert experience celebrating Basin PBS’ 40th anniversary year\, headlined this year by country music legend Travis Tritt on Thursday\, May 28. The annual event transforms downtown into a high-energy street festival celebrating live music\, community\, and shared experiences—all under the West Texas sky. \nWith a career spanning more than 35 years\, Travis Tritt remains one of country music’s most enduring performers. A member of the influential “Class of ’89\,” Tritt rose to prominence during country music’s early ’90s boom with his debut album Country Club and hits including “It’s a Great Day to Be Alive\,” “Here’s a Quarter\,” and “T-R-O-U-B-L-E.” His Southern rock–influenced sound\, rooted in blues and gospel\, helped set him apart\, earning multiple platinum albums\, more than 30 million records sold\, two Grammy Awards\, three CMA Awards\, and membership in the Grand Ole Opry. His appearance at Main Street Live promises a high-energy performance filled with iconic hits and the unmistakable sound that has resonated with fans for generations. \nMain Street Live isn’t just an incredible night of entertainment—it is Basin PBS’ only fundraiser that directly impacts operating revenue\, educational resources\, and community engagement efforts. In its 40th anniversary year\, Basin PBS is looking ahead\, and support from this event helps ensure the station can continue providing the programs and services that serve and enrich West Texas communities. Every ticket purchased and sponsorship secured helps sustain Basin PBS’ mission to educate\, inform\, and inspire audiences of all ages.
