🎨 You're Invited! 🌹
Join us for "Pistols and Petals", a bold and beautiful group art exhibition on view from October 6 – December 22 at the Mesquite Arts Center!
This FREE and open-to-the-public show highlights the powerful cross-promotion of the arts between two East Texas towns—Mesquite and Tyler—brought together through the creative vision of 17 artists from the Palette of Roses Art League in Tyler, Texas.
"Pistols and Petals" is a symbol of unity, contrast, and cultural pride. The pistol represents Mesquite’s rugged Western heritage and pioneering spirit, while the petals reflect the natural beauty and world-famous roses of Tyler. Together, they embody strength and softness, grit and grace.
