Congratulations to Stacy Fuller, head of education, who was named to the Fort Worth Business Press’ “40 under 40.” The annual awards program recognizes individuals who are “shaping the future of Tarrant County through their business and community involvement.”

Stacy joined the museum in 2004, and currently oversees the museum’s extensive and varied education programs, which include school tours, public programs, educator training and workshops, teaching resource center initiatives and distance learning broadcasts. In addition, she has developed and successfully implemented the museum’s highly regarded Sharing the Past Through Art and Connect to Art accessible programs. She was recently named Outstanding Museum Division Art Educator by the Texas Art Education Association and selected as vice president of the Museum Education Roundtable, a national organization dedicated to furthering museum education.

This Week in the Arts features an interview today with Sedrick Huckaby and Tyler Green, two of the panelists at a free program tonight at the Amon Carter Museum. Huckaby and Green, along with Kimberly Davenport, will speak about their success in the visual arts as young adults. Check out the interview and join us for the program this evening!

Star-Telegram art critic Gaile Robinson writes of the Carter’s new special exhibition: “Museumgoers are rarely treated to works on paper shows, and this is an opportunity to see more than 100 pieces by a who’s who of America’s most famous artists of the past century.”

Read what else she had to say about American Moderns on Paper: Masterworks from the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art.

The New Year is just around the corner, and the Amon Carter Museum has a stellar 2010 exhibition schedule. Comprised of three special exhibitions that celebrate modern art, each will focus on different American modern art movements spanning the years 1902 to 1962 in a variety of media including works on paper, paintings, sculpture and photographs.

Check out this weekend’s Star-Telegram article for information about special discounts at the art museums when you ride the T in November.

Be on the lookout for the Carter’s Wrapped Oranges on the side of a Fort Worth Transportation Authority (The T) Bus. Three new buses depicting Fort Worth’s art museums and their iconic works recently hit the streets. It’s a component of a partnership between The T and the museums to encourage the public to “Ride the T to the Cultural District.” For more information on how to ride the T, visit www.the-t.com.
