The Amarillo Museum of Art is hosting two concurrent exhibitions: "Home, Love, and Loss" (May 31 – September 14, 2025) and "Jeri Salter: Rugged Beauty of the Texas Panhandle" (June 20 – September 28, 2025). The first, organized in partnership with the Amon Carter Museum of Art, features over 60 works by artists including Thomas Hart Benton, Rania Matar, and Francisco Delgado, exploring family dynamics, identity, and belonging. The second showcases Jeri Salter's pastel landscapes of the Texas Panhandle alongside miniature studies by 19th-century artist Frank Reaugh.
These exhibitions matter because they highlight the Amarillo Museum of Art's role in presenting both nationally significant thematic surveys and regional artistic voices. "Home, Love, and Loss" is part of a multi-year institutional partnership involving the Amon Carter Museum of Art, the Art Museum of South Texas, and the Ellen Noël Art Museum through the Art Bridges Foundation, demonstrating collaborative efforts to bring diverse art to underserved communities. Salter's show underscores the value of place-based art and historical dialogue in regional museums.
