Jesús Moroles moved people through massive displays of granite—chiseled and smoothed to perfection. And equally people were touched by his tremendous generosity, energy, enthusiasm, and boundless energy. His untimely death in June 2015 sent shock waves of sadness through the art world. With the help of the Moroles Studio in Rockport, Texas, the UMLAUF Sculpture Garden & Museum is honored to present his work in the exhibition, JESÚS MOROLES: A TRIBUTE.
The exhibition runs from November 20, 2015 through March 13, 2016 and will feature sculpture, drawings and models, which Moroles used to create his work.
Opening: Friday, November 20, 2015 from 6-8 pm. A welcome by Executive Director, Nina Seely and remarks by Curator, Katie Robinson Edwards and Jesús Moroles’ sister, Suzanna Moroles. This event is free and open to the public.
Granite Splitting Demonstration: Sunday, March 13, 2015 at 1 pm and 3 pm by Kurt Kangas and the Moroles Studio. This event is free and open to the public.
Closing: Sunday, March 13, 2015.
Opening event, Granite Splitting Demonstration, and Insights talk are free and open to the public. The exhibit will be on display from Nov. 20th to Mar. 13th with an admission fee.
