Yellow Dog Art Bar and Gallery hosts artists, events in Denton

John Bramblitt, a Dallas native and Denton-based artist who lost his eyesight about 20 years ago while studying at the University of North Texas, opened Yellow Dog Art Bar and Gallery in mid-2023. The venue combines a bar with a gallery space, exhibiting and selling work from local artists, hosting open mic nights for live music and poetry, painting workshops, bad movie screenings, trivia, and karaoke. Bramblitt, who continued painting after losing his sight from complications with epilepsy and Lyme disease, also travels for speaking engagements, teaches painting to the visually impaired, and consults museums on accessibility. The gallery's name is partly inspired by the Blue Dog gallery in New Orleans and by Bramblitt's service dog, a yellow Labrador named Zuke.

Exhibition reflects on the seven deadly sins

Artist CO-MA presents his second solo exhibition, 'Every Saint Has a Past and Every Sinner Has a Future,' at Spazju Kreattiv in Malta from May 9 to June 29. Curated by Lily Agius, the show interprets the seven deadly sins—pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth—through large-scale oil paintings on canvas and wood, marking a shift from the charcoal medium used in his 2021 debut. The artist draws inspiration from Norse mythology, Renaissance and Baroque art, and Dante's Divine Comedy, exploring these vices as universal human failings rather than strictly Catholic concepts.
