Hope for Spring: Pollinating Texas Opening Reception

What’s Happening?

Come celebrate Texas Pollinators at the Neill-Cochran House Museum! Last year’s Hope for Spring: The Flower of Texas focused on our state flower, the Bluebonnet, and was a resounding success. For our second annual Hope for Spring exhibition, we are celebrating the astonishing Texas pollinators who work tirelessly to bring us the hope of spring. Nature has a plethora of pollinators that beautify our world. Bees and butterflies are the most well-known, but even birds and Austin’s favorite bats help to spread the beauty of spring. Without their help we would not experience all the incredible colors that pepper the Texas countryside come spring.

The artwork will be placed before a jury who will determine three winners and an honorable mention. The winners will be announced at the Opening Reception on March 13, 2021. The Opening Reception is free and open to the public. Doors will open at 4:00 PM, winners will be announced at 5:00 PM. Hye Rum will also be onsite providing delicious cocktails.
