Tyler Museum of Art
Tyler, Texas
Established in 1952, the Tyler Museum of Art moved into its present home, a 15,000 square foot building adjacent to Tyler Junior College, in 1971. As part of their continuing mission to enliven the cultural landscape of East Texas, the new TMA will be situated adjacent to the University of Texas at Tyler on a densely wooded site bisected by a flood plain. Meant to be both iconic and respectful of its unique surroundings, the first phase of construction will more than double the existing facility's square footage and contain 6,000 square feet of gallery space to attract traveling exhibitions and continue in its tradition of highlighting up-and-coming Texas artists. The new facility will also house 3,000 square feet of educational programming, including classrooms, a library and children's gallery. Upon completion of future phases TMA will house over 15,000 square feet of gallery space and more than triple the existing facility's square footage.
