Tyler Museum of Art "Opens Vault" for Latest Exhibition TYLER, TX— The Tyler Museum of Art is offering a special time for its October and November First Friday Art Tours in conjunction with the new exhibition, Eva Zeisel: The Shape of Life, TMA Head of Education Katie Powell announced. This month’s tour is scheduled for 10:15 a.m. Friday, Oct. 3 in the Museum’s North Gallery, a change from the regular monthly First Friday time of 11 a.m. An influx of elementary school tours during the usual First Friday slots for October and November has prompted the temporary change, Ms. Powell said, but both tours still will be full one-hour programs. The October tour, led by Ms. Powell, casts the spotlight on more than 70 years of groundbreaking ceramic design on display in Eva Zeisel: The Shape of Life, an exhibition that spans the broad and accomplished career of Zeisel, the legendary Eastern European artisan who continues to produce household and industrial designs as she approaches her 102nd birthday. TMA’s First Friday Art Tours are open to the public, but reservations are requested and may be made by calling (903) 595-1001. The tour is free to TMA members plus one guest. Cost for non-members is $3, plus the exhibition admission fee of $5 for adults and $3 for seniors and students. Support for Eva Zeisel: The Shape of Life is provided by TMA Collectors’ Circle Members: The Byars Foundation, and Amy and Vernon Faulconer. Media sponsor is CBS 19. The exhibition continues through December 9 in the TMA’s North Gallery. First Friday participants also will have the opportunity to tour Texas in My Soul: A.C. Cook and the Hock Shop Collection, the historic exhibition of early Texas art continuing through October 26 in the Bell Gallery. The Tyler Museum of Art, accredited by the American Association of Museums, is located at 1300 S. Mahon Ave., adjacent to the Tyler Junior College campus off East Fifth Street. Regular hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday. Light lunch is available in the Museum Café from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and the TMA Gift Shop is open during exhibition hours.
