Texas! We head to Fort Worth and the Amon Carter Museum of American Art to hear from its director, Dr. Andrew Walker.  We touch on the wealth of arts institutions in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and why the Carter, like most museums in the metro area, is free. We consider the Carter’s enormous photography collection, including the work of indigenous photographers, how the Carter has been transformed since the death of Ruth Carter Stevenson in both governance and management, the museum’s re-engagement with living artists and its broadened audience, the fluid definitions of what is American in American art, increasing the diversity of the collection, exhibitions, and audiences, current and future exhibitions, and how temporary experiences are challenging permanent collection orthodoxies.
