Focus on Photography: Selections from the Permanent Collection


  • The Grace Museum 102 Cypress Street Abilene, TX, 79601 United States (map)

The Grace Museum’s photography collection has grown exponentially since it began in 2008 with a major gift from Alice and Bill Wright of over 400 photographs from their personal collection of works by important photographers and associates throughout Bill’s fifty-year career as a documentary and fine art photographer and author. Due to the Wright’s stewardship, the collection continues to grow through gifts and a grant from the David H. Gibson Foundation supporting new acquisitions and an upcoming publication on Texas Photographers in The Grace Museum Photography Collection. Major gifts have come from photographers who wish to honor their relationship with the Wrights. The focus of this exhibition features new acquisitions as well as selections from the existing collection.

The Grace Museum is committed to the exhibition, documentation, preservation, research, and interpretation of photography. The Grace curates and exhibits three photography exhibitions annually from the Wright Collection and loans from other artists, museums and galleries.
