African Art : African Stories and Gallery Jatad



Kuba Funnel and Yombe Maternity Figure photographed by Gabriella Nissen

My husband, Matthew Scheiner, and I will open our tribal art/contemporary works on paper gallery this coming year. Gallery Jatad will open in a three story space in the fall of 2012 near the corner of Chenevert and McGowen streets. This location is close to Sonja Roesch Gallery, Houston Museum of African American Culture, The Holocaust Museum, The Station Museum, The Buffalo Soldiers Museum, The Asia House and other arts and museum venues.

Before the gallery opens my husband and I will show selected objects from our tribal collection at O'Kane Gallery (Houston, TX) in February 2012. The exhibit African Art : African Stories is curated by Matt and gallery director Mark Cervenka. A grant from the Houston Arts Alliance funded the creation of a catalogue for the exhibit with beautiful photographs by Gabriella Nissen and text by Matthew Scheiner.

The exhibit opens February 2, 2012.
