Blue Collar is an art exhibition at Lyric Art Center in Eastland County, Texas. Four artists contemplate labor using materials ranging from clay and barbed wire to paint and charcoal. Gary Ford and Beth Pearson Lund from Eastland and Kirstyn Wright and William Wright from Decatur find inspiration in their West Texas surroundings. This is visible in choices of materials and subject matter. Motifs of barbed wire, cowboy hats, work boots, and wind turbines, weave throughout the artworks representing only a part of labor in West Texas.
The exhibition is open to the public Saturdays March 4th, 11th, 18th from 11am-3pm and Sundays, March 5th, 12th , and 19 from 12pm to 4pm, or by appointment. A closing reception with refreshments and live music will be Saturday, March 25 from 2pm to 6pm. Lyric Art Center is located at 107 South Lamar Street in Eastland, Texas.
