Did a day trip to Arlington today and checked out this small, but lovely art museum. The people at the front desk took the time to tell us about the feature artist at this time, Knox Martin. Nice, wide open space with three levels. We spent about 45 minutes there. They also mentioned that the building was a JC Pennies about 50 years ago, which was a fun fact. If you like art and have about an hour, its a pleasant stop to learn something new.

We went for the Kieth Haring exhibit. It was great. Now this little museum is a great little venue. It is punching above its weight class. Well done Arlington!

Not a bad place. Much bigger than expected. The rooftop gallery is pretty awesome and is more of what I expected to see there. They were doing a Texas Mums exhibit which wasnt really my thing but was well laid out. I think it is worth a second visit.

It was great. The exhibit of Albrect Durer was REALLY GOOD. I knew he was an important and influential artist. But I had no idea HOW MUCH HE INFLUENCED the art world! !!!!!

Adorable little art shop. My 13 year old is an artist and we come from a very small town. She enjoyed seeing the art of other children her age!

Ive enjoyed many fabulous exhibits here over the years...Toulose Lautrec, Vivian Meier & now, Keith Haring. This exhibit ends September 15th, so hurry!

Ive been impressed with the exhibits and shows. For a smaller museum they do a great job, more with less. Sometimes I like their shows better than a big blockbuster exhibit elsewhere thats hyped and too popular.

My daughter participated in the art camp last week and loved it. The process for drop-off and pickup went smoothly and she came home talking about all of the amazing things she learned each day. They were able to learn how to use various art mediums and spent some of their day learning about Keith Haring, which is currently on exhibit there. The staff was warm and welcoming and the art teachers formed great relationships with her in the short amount of time she was there! We would highly recommend and will definitely be returning!

Small but packed, and an awesome and well organized collection. I attended when the keith haring exhibit was on display, and it was such a cool experience! student tickets are only $5 with ID and it was a quiet and open atmosphere in which to experience the art :)

AMA hosted a one week, half day summer art camp for kids and it was awesome! My daughter had a lot of fun doing the projects each day and was proud to show me all of her work at the end of the week. The theme was learning about Keith Herrings work and using what they learned in each project. We would definitely attend again.

Review №22

I had signed up my daughter for the summer art camp and after day one they are telling me she can’t keep up and would be better if she try next year. I mean throughout the school year she did great and I had no complaints from her art teacher on the contrary her art teacher would tell me she is her best student and was the one that recommended me to sign her up. They didn’t even give her a chance and the way the staff approached the situation was very tacky. If you are looking into this camp I suggest you go elsewhere. Horrible experience!

My family and I went see the 55 wood block prints by Utagawa Hiroshiges Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido, 1797-1858, Japan. It was a thrilling experience to see 161 to 222 year old prints in fantastic color and in really good condition. Photograph were not allowed except for the information plaques. It was a wonderful experience. The down side was that on the day of our visit the elevator was not working. So if you have problems with stairs, go slowly up and down them.Bring your own walking assistance equipment. The staff are very courteous.

Nice pocket-sized art museum next to the UTA campus hosts imaginative exhibits of artists, local and national. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to see the Keith Haring show, and definitely plan to return often.

It needs a huge corporate sponsor or a rich oil billionaire to breathe some life into this building. In a city that has all the sports venues for the area, why doesnt the city spend some of those tax dollars on its downtown? But that said, Dallas doesnt spend any money on its art museum either. Art is so forgotten in this area. The local mall has better art. So sad.

My husband and I love the AMA. The exhibits are interesting and we always learn something new. The staff is friendly and the museum is big. There are three floors plus sometimes exhibits in the basement. There is rarely a crowd there, so its easy to read the description of the art without being in someones way. We like the little gift shop too.

I really loved the Fung pieces. And the staff was amazing. They were informative, but didnt hover while we looked at the art. Also, the elevator was down, so we couldnt get to some of the art. While some places would still charge full price, they were only half price. I thought that was pretty awesome.

The music on this occasion was intimate, and so satisfying. Puccini was covered beautifully...... Pianist Dr. Heejung Kang was a marvel, as well as all of the other wonderful performers. The art exhibit garnered by the the Arlington Museum of Art was very thought provoking from the late Gary K. Haring. A real find for the museum.......a magnificently spent Saturday night. Timeless Concerts brought in part by Violinist Leeanne Chenoweth is a treasure...

Besides an interesting art museum they also offer childrens art classes. The local school district has a large show of student art there each year that is very impressive. The shows change out on a regular basis usually spotlighting individual artists. Free to the public. Check for current shows and hours. Located in downtown Arlington.

This is a really, really neat little museum. Were not talking Guggenheim, here, but they always have a pretty cool showing along with a small but endearing permanent collection. If you are military - active or retired with card - admission is free. Truly, not a bad little place to visit.

As someone that has admired Ansel Adams work in my 35 plus years in the professional photo industry. The Arlington Museum of Art did a VERY POOR JOB of displaying his work. The lighting was so BAD that you could not see the detail and range of tones that Ansel Adams was known for. If the prints had been displayed properly, people that have not seen his work before would have seen what tonal range the Zone System gives a photo artist.Shame on AMA for displaying his work like that.

Review №88

The absolute worst venue for an event. While the building was lovely, the staff were unprofessional, rude and combative at every turn. From arriving late to scheduled meetings prior to the event, constantly changing agreed upon terms, trying to make tacky changes to the decorations, to being awful to the wedding guests and vendors. The event coordinator at the venue was just awful. The A/C didnt work properly and guests were sweating the entire time. All in all, it was a terrible experience.
