Events

The Blanton is free every Thursday. No tickets required.

Free admission every Thursday is generously provided by the Moody Family Free Day Endowment.

Come join us for a dynamic look at the Blanton’s world-class art collection!  Our trained docent will guide you through fan favorites found in our Latin American, European, and Modern and Contemporary galleries, providing context and insights behind the artworks on display.  Our main and specialized galleries (including the Paper Vault, Film & Video, and Contemporary Project galleries) change regularly so you will always see something new on every visit.  Learn more about our permanent collection HERE.

Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the start of the tour. Our tours can accommodate a maximum of 25 people on a first come, first serve basis. Please check-in with our Visitor Services Desk to secure your place.

Due to construction on the grounds, our visitor entrance has changed and is accessible only via Brazos Street. Check for updates here when planning your visit. The Blanton is located at the intersection of Congress Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

Paid parking is available in the Brazos Garage on Brazos Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Parking is $4; bring your ticket with you to the museum.

Celebrate the opening of Without Limits: Helen Frankenthaler, Abstraction, and the Language of Print, by joining Christian Wurst, Curatorial Assistant, for a virtual salon discussion to explore and admire ten prints and six proofs that span five decades of the artist’s career, which were donated to the Blanton by the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation. Her work is joined by that of other artists in the Blanton’s collection using the medium of print to capture and translate their own abstract visions.

Please note, there will be a UT home football game which will affect parking at Brazos garage so alternative transportation is recommended. There will be no parking available in our garage so it’s a good time get a ride or walk, bike, bus or Uber/Lyft.

The museum will remain open as usual during this time.
