Mexican Folk Art Coloring Book
The Tyler Museum of Art has received a major gift from the Laura and Dan Boeckman Collection of Mexican and Latin American Folk Art for its permanent collection and in celebration has unveiled a bilingual “Mexican Folk Art Coloring Book” during a special presentation May 5 at the Museum.
The 24-page coloring book was inspired by the generosity of Laura and Dan Boeckman, the Dallas-area philanthropists who have made a promised gift of over 300 works from their extensive collection of contemporary Mexican and Latin American folk art—one of the premier collections of its kind in the United States—to the TMA’s permanent collection. The first part of their donation—69 works of art—was received as an end-of-year gift in December.
Through its ongoing partnership with Tyler Independent School District, the Museum will to distribute the coloring books to all second-grade students.
The coloring book was underwritten by Yvette Brunette and John Merrill of State Farm Insurance in Tyler, and Hudson Printing & Graphic Design of Longview.
