Favorite Art Spots and Good Works

If you happen to enjoy modern art and beautiful spaces, as we do, we highly recommend these places we have visited over the years. (When we are particularly lucky, we go back to visit them again and again.) And really, we couldn’t separate out the art from the good works. For us, beauty and goodness just go together.

Also, a note about Texas.

Although we each grew up on, and love to visit, the coasts, we have been pleasantly surprised at how many amazing visual art spaces Texas has. (We live in Austin, so be sure to contact us to coordinate a tour of the Javier López Cantú Artworkstudio.)
