Anne Genung has a unique approach to her art using a great mix of talent, skill and humor in her pieces known as "the Willies." What began as a student project has grown into a genre of its own. Anne has used fine art icons such as the Mona Lisa and super hero icons such as Batman and Robin - and all have the screened-print face of country music icon Willie Nelson, who owns several of Anne's iconic collages. This wonderful exhibit of the Willies and Anne's abstract paintings is guaranteed to beguile and amuse.

The rumors are true: this year's North Texas Irish Festival -- the 32nd year of what has grown into the largest cultural celebration in the Southwest -- has gone to the dogs! From "Erin Go Bragh!", a traditional Irish saying meaning "Ireland Forever," to "Erin Go Bark!", the theme of this year's festival, this phrase reflects one of its most-loved traditions as it celebrates the role of the “Celtic canines” in this beloved dog- and family-friendly festival. From the famed Irish Wolfhounds to Irish Water Spaniels, Kerry Terriers to Irish Setters and more, dogs are one of the many aspects of Celtic culture that is for everyone to enjoy in Dallas's own Fair Park Feb. 28 through March 2.
