The founder/owner of BAIA is Najee Dorsey who is a great collage artist in his own right. We (Nicole Longnecker and I) had a solo show for Najee back when we were on Colquitt. I must mention our current exhibit of beautiful African American portraits by Romeo Robinson which is on view thru March. Out space is open daily from 10-5 and we hope people with come see the work.
You mentioned Bert Long's 'Eyeball' sculptures. I've only seen them in the field, fenced in, across from the row houses. Are they made of concrete or clay. I'm sure they were cast, not carved. If clay, how did Bert kiln fire them; where with whose assistance? Most appreciatively your friend and supporter, Jo Zider
Wow, those woodcuts and linocuts look fantastic!

I've heard they were made with concrete mixed with plaster, so presumably they were cast. (But I admit I don't know this for certain.)
Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out next time we're back in Houston!
