SAMFA PRESENTS Honoring a Texas Legacy: Treasured Gifts from Bill & Mary Cheek and Their Friends. The San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts presents Honoring a Texas Legacy: Treasured Gifts from Bill & Mary Cheek and their Friends exhibition and panel discussion.

With Bill's passing in 2025, the museum and the art community across the state are mourning his loss and also celebrating his legacy. In honor of Bill, this exhibit features approximately 60 works in SAMFA's Permanent Collection that wee graciously donated by Bill and Mary Cheek, along with other early Texas gems. The public is invited to attend the exhibition;s free opening reception on Thursday, January 22 from 5:30 pm to 8 pm. Live Music and refreshments provided.
