Two special programs will be held this week at Bandera Middle School as part of the Smithsonian Institution’s traveling exhibit, Crossroads: Changes in Rural America.
On Thursday, July 10, Lauren Langford will present a slideshow and talk about Texas artist Warren Hunter at 5:30 p.m. Hunter (1904–1993) was known for his linoleum block prints depicting Texas cowboys and Native Americans.
The son of J. Marvin Hunter, founder of the Frontier Times Museum, Hunter studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and later worked as a commercial artist and teacher in San Antonio.
His mural for the Alice, Texas post office was preserved by the Smithsonian and now hangs at the National Museum of American Art.
On Friday, July 11, Jennifer Nimmrichter, owner of Sheepwalk Ranch, will give a 2 p.m. presentation titled Becoming a Wool Farmer. She will share insights into modern-day shepherding, from caring for sheep to the economics of wool farming.
Both programs are free and open to the public. The exhibit and presentations take place at Bandera Middle School, 1005 Cherry St., in the cafeteria.
