In the Austin arts world, the Austin Critics Table (ACT) nominations came out today. The critics, I assume, met, discussed, and then nominated artists, performers and organizations for outstanding work in various fields from visual art and dance, to classical music and theater.
Since I consider myself a critic in the area, and was not invited to join in on the deliberation or consulted with, I question the legitimacy of the nominations in the visual arts. That last part is a joke BTW, I donāt take myself that seriously, but by stating that it gives me reason to go where Iām planning with the rest of this post. Itās has been noted by some arts leaders in this town that the visual arts lacks coverage in this town and therefore, these nominations canāt possibly reflect what actually went down this past year. This must be remedied, and I humbly offer my nominations to fill in the glaring holes and gaps that the ACT left in the visual art categories.
