Trinity Star Arts Council at the Williford Foundation is hosting an opening exhibit, ‘The Era of Opulence,’ a selection of Graham Williford’s collected artwork, this Thursday, December 5th from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.
The carefully curated, by the Tyler Museum, collection will be on display through next September.
The late Graham Williford collected artwork dated from the late 1900’s and into the early 1800’s, with over 1,100 works currently in the collection.
This is an exciting chance to view one of the, “most distinctive private collections of its kind,” according to Former Curator of the Dallas Museum of Art, Dr. William Rudolph.
Williford was born and raised locally here in Fairfield, Texas, graduating from Fairfield High School in 1943.
He eventually lived in New York City, and spent a good number of years in Paris where Graham realized his passion for American Art.
So, as you Sip, Snack & Shop in downtown Fairfield this Thursday, make sure to visit the Williford Foundation, enjoy some refreshments and delight in the vocal charm of the Eagle Choir.
It is conveniently located on the west side of the Courthouse Square.
