Texas-born Artist to be Featured in Solo Exhibition at Frieze London

Portrait painter Amy Sherald has selected Kingsville-born artist René Treviño to present a solo exhibition at Frieze London this October. Treviño's presentation, titled "Moscas en la Pared (Flies on the Wall)," will debut in the fair's Artist-to-Artist section, a curated program launched in 2023 that invites renowned artists to nominate emerging talents. Treviño, who is represented by Erin Cluley Gallery in Dallas, adapts Mayan and Mexíca symbology in his multimedia work, which often incorporates vibrant colors, queer sensibilities, and restorative storytelling. His exhibition record includes shows at the Wadsworth Athenaeum, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and a 2024 career survey at The Wellin Museum of Art.

audit irregularities baltimore lewis museum

An August 15 audit by the Maryland Department of Legislative Services uncovered serious financial irregularities at Baltimore’s Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History & Culture. The audit found corporate credit card charges without a clear business purpose, payments made to an employee’s PayPal account, a former employee pocketing parking fees, and a practice of pre-signing blank checks stored in an unsecured office. Though only $10,115 was unaccounted for between April 2021 and January 2025, the museum’s annual budget is $6.3 million, and it receives up to half its funding from taxpayers. The museum’s president Terri L. Freeman and board chairman Drew Hawkins have since destroyed all pre-signed checks and implemented 12 of 18 audit recommendations, with four more in progress. The employees involved are no longer at the museum, and findings were referred to the Maryland Attorney General.
