Artist, writer and @TCU alum Christopher Blay ’03 will see his East Rosedale Monument Project dedicated to the @CityofFortWorth this Saturday, Feb. 1, with a reception at 2 p.m. at the Ella Mae Shamblee Library.
Supported by the Fort Worth Public Art Commission, Blay’s work uses the shell of a 1970s-era bus and engraved panels to highlight historical moments and people who contributed to the struggle for racial equality.
The installation stands on the 900 block of Fort Worth’s East Rosedale Avenue near the future home of the @juneteenthmsm, where Blay serves as director of public programs.
“I think artists will always respond to injustice, and museums have an obligation to give artists space to say the things they are there to say,” Blay said. “There’s no point to a museum if it isn’t a space where you can have conversations.”

@Ameen_HGA@PatrickKMiller_ If you read to them every night when little, have lots of books in your house at their disposal, and they see their parents reading books, they will most likely love to read too (disabilities aside). My husband and sons read more than I do. It’s not a girl only thing.
🎉The Lab Coat Project is OPEN for pre-orders! 🥼
We need to hit 600 orders in 6 weeks to crowdfund half the manufacturing cost. If you don't need one, you can still donate one to STEM classrooms at cost to help us reach the goal.
