Looking At Art is a personal project of Marshal and Victoria
Lightman. The Lightmans moved (involuntarily, at first) to Houston from Boston
in 1985. By 1987, they had started collecting the work of local
artists…now, they cannot stop themselves from educating and
encouraging Houstonians to support their local art community. Established
in 1989, Looking At Art visits artist's studios, galleries, alternative
spaces, museums, and collectors homes. Looking At Art is completely
independent and is funded solely by class fees. It is never involved with
commissions or sales of artwork—although collecting is always
applauded. Please take a minute to read about all of our programs.
Victoria Lightman served on the Texas
Commission on the Arts (2001-2007). You can easily support your local
arts organizations by buying a State of the Arts Texas license
plate--visit the web site www.arts.state.tx.us.
Victoria served on the board of the
Cultural Arts Council of Houston and Harris County
(2003-2006), as first vice president and chair of the Grants and Services
Committee. Victoria
chairs the local chapter of ArtTable, www.arttable.org.
Marshal now serves on the board of the Houston Arts Alliance (formerly
CACHH) as vice president and chair of the Civic Arts Committee www.haa.org. He is also on the board of
Diverse Works www.diverseworks.org.
Together the Lightmans serve on the boards of the Glassell School Core
Fellow Program at the Museum of Fine Arts, www.core.mfah.org
and the University of Houston’s School of Art,
SOAP.
