Collins family’s legacy of art at Dishman Art Museum

Located on the campus of Lamar University, the Dishman Art Museum serves as a teaching facility and has had a positive effect on the quality of education at LU since its dedication in 1983. The museum offers students an opportunity to experience diverse styles that reflect international trends as well as exhibit their own work. Further, the museum is a showplace that contributes significantly to the cultural opportunities of the region. This exhibition explores and contrasts the work of renowned Texas based artists, father and son, Lowell Daunt Collins (1924-2003) and Michael Roqué Collins and their legacy in the art of the southwest.
