“Trespassers: James Prosek and the Texas Prairie” Extension and Artist Talk at the Carter Museum

Trespassers: James Prosek and the Texas Prairie has been extended through May 12, 2024, at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art (the Carter). This exhibition investigates the allure of Texas’s grasslands, while raising broader questions about the boundaries that shape, limit, and define prairie spaces in the present day. Inspired by his visits to native prairies across the state of Texas, artist and naturalist James Prosek has created over 20 new works that document the rich plant and wildlife diversity of these spaces.

Join us at the Carter on January 11, 2024, for an exclusive live recording of the podcast Mountain & Prairiein celebration of the Trespassers exhibition. During this Second Thursday at the Carter event, Ed Roberson, the host of the podcast, will join artist James Prosek in conversation about his visits to grassland habitats across the state of Texas and his artworks on view in the exhibition. An audience Q&A will follow their conversation. Seating for the talk is first come, first served.

Artist Talk: James Prosek is a part of Second Thursdays at the Carter. Second Thursdays is a FREE monthly event where you can connect with art through cocktails, conversations, and creativity right in the heart of Fort Worth’s Cultural District. This January, delve into artist James Prosek’s depictions of the untamed beauty of the Texas landscape and learn from experts about what you can do to protect wildlife diversity. Visit the Carter’s website for the full schedule of events.

Second Thursdays at the Carter is generously supported by the Louella Martin Foundation.
