Art is here.

Thank you to all of you who helped make our Grand Opening a roaring success! An astounding 22,000 visited the Blanton in our first week, including 13,000 at the 24-hour public opening alone. During the month of May, approximately 40,000 art lovers have walked through our doors. If you have had not had a chance to visit the Blanton yet, we hope to see you soon!
