On March 29, the newly opened Castell Hill Country Gallery and Museum debuted “Enduring Forces,” the inaugural exhibition from La Cuna Center, an arts and ecology initiative based just up the road in Art, Texas. On view through June 21, the show gathers artists, land stewards, photographers, designers and architects to reflect on the harsh natural rhythms of the region—drought and deluge, wildflower bloom and wind-swept prairie—and how those forces shape memory, identity and place.
The exhibition features works by a notable roster of Texas-based artists, including 2024 Texas State Artist Beili Liu and the center’s first artist-in-residence, Diego Miró-Rivera. Their work is joined by contributions from Abi Ogle, John Redington of Side Angle Side, and Charles Williams of Ciel Design for Gardens, along with nature photography from Erin Newman-Mitchell, Matthew Guthrie, Anna Mallam and Grant Pittman. La Cuna founder and exhibit curator Rachel Farrington rounds out the show with a striking installation based on a three-year plant census conducted on La Cuna’s property.
