At a crucial moment in the development of Texas art, an eccentric oil wildcatter turned to the prestigious San Antonio Art League with a proposal. He would fund a national art competition featuring the state’s wildflowers if the league would handle the details. Thus were born the Edgar B. Davis Texas Wildflower Competitive Exhibitions.

You are cordially invited to an invitational preview party for the much-anticipated TriCentennial exhibition of the Edgar B. Davis collection at the San Antonio Art League & Museum, including a presentation by William E. Reaves, author of Texas Art and a Wildcatter's Dream: Edgar B. Davis and the San Antonio Art League.
 

Guests will enjoy:

Catered reception and wine
Complimentary exhibition catalogs
Docent-let tours of the Davis Collection
Music by Tom's Texas Groove

Artists participating in the small-works silent auction include Sylvia Benitez, Francis Huang, Billy Keen, Tim McMeans, Terry Gay Puckett, Lyn Belisle, Lee Ricks, Steven G. Smith, E. Gordon West and more. All bids start at $50, no reserve.
