The TMA Announces Seniors Day, September 14 Seniors Invited for Tours and Lunch, Sponsored by Texas Spine & Joint Hospital TYLER, TX (September 2, 2009)—The Tyler Museum of Art is excited to announce a special opportunity for local seniors. Those age 65 and older are invited to attend Seniors Day at the TMA, on Monday, September 14, beginning at 11 a.m. Visitors will enjoy docent-led tours of the newly opened exhibit, Divine Kinship: Ancient Forms and Contemporary Social Commentary, the Art of Jean Lacy and a complimentary lunch. The event is sponsored by the Texas Spine & Joint Hospital. Seating for the lunch is limited, and reservations are required. Admission to all current exhibits is free.

Known for her use of mixed media and collage, Laura Jean Lacy is an African American artist who uses her work to explore symbols that, while central to the African American experience, is also universal in its scope and implications.

Also on display are two continuing exhibitions, Chinese Themes in Japanese Art and Maxfield Parrish, The Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney Murals.
