  • Neches River Festival LXXII the River Is Calling
    Neches River Festival LXXII The River is Calling... April 14 - 25, 2020 Overview and General Information Beginning in 1949, the Neches River became the focal point for this community to celebrate our high school youth during the Neches River Festival. That tradition continues and each year lifetime memories are made by the Festival participants as they close the chapters of their youth and prepare for exciting futures. This year’s Festival theme of “The River is Calling” will celebrate our shared region, rich in history and resources. We have many exciting activities planned for you! The popular Friday night parade returns and continues to expand with additional participants and surrounded by a public street party—all in downtown Beaumont. The Get Acquainted Dance, for high school juniors and seniors, follows the conclusion of the parade, a costume-themed event that remains one of the most anticipated events of the Festival. And, this year marks the 2nd annual “Capes and Crowns” 1k/5k run. The Festival season will also include a River/Service day which highlights important aspects of our community—economic, environmental, social and cultural. Continuing a tradition started a few years ago, Festival participants will “connect and serve” by collecting and donating children’s books to promote reading and literacy in our community. These books will be placed in existing Royal Book Nooks across our city. Two new nooks will be created in honor of NRF 72 and will be installed in new public sites. Additionally, during the magical season, a long time civic leader is honored, as the Citizen of the Year, a King is chosen, and the celebration culminates with the Coronation of a Queen and her court at the Julie Rogers Theatre.

  • Emily Peacock: Pure Comedy Born in Port Arthur, Texas, Emily Peacock Is Currently a Professor at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville and Lives in Houston
    Art Museum of Southeast Texas 500 Main Winter 2019 December 14, 2019 - March 1, 2020 Opening Reception Friday, December 13 | 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. Family Arts Day, Saturday, February 22, 2020 | 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. emily peacock: pure comedy Born in Port Arthur, Texas, Emily Peacock is currently a professor at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville and lives in Houston. EMILY PEACOCK: Pure Comedy transforms the artist’s personal journeys through loss, motherhood, and family tragedy into photographs, film, and sculpture depicting objects and images that exist in a space between the familiar and the absurd. Using safety suits and common objects seen in her home, Peacock presents a series of oval portraits of herself and her husband that feel all at once alien and very familiar to those who have experienced caring for the safety and well- being of another. This series, titled H.S.A.N.O. (Home Security Apparatuses for Non-desirable Outcomes), also brings postpartum depression to the forefront, a public health issue that affects 10 to 15 percent of mothers. By fantastically documenting her own transition into motherhood, Peacock allows others to open up about their own experiences without fear or shame, in an attempt to de-stigmatize disorders such as this. Peacock earned her degree at Sam Houston State University and her Masters at the University of Houston. Her work has been exhibited in exhibitions at galleries and art Emily Peacock, H.S.A.N.O. 2 (Home Security Apparatuses for Non-desirable Outcomes), spaces including the Houston Center for 2019, archival inkjet print mounted to aluminum, 36 x 24 in., Loan courtesy of the artist Photography, Art League Houston, Lawndale and Jonathan Hopson Gallery Art Center, Jonathan Hopson Gallery in This exhibition is generously funded, in part, by an award from the Houston, Anzenberger Gallery in Vienna, Edaren Foundation, Sheila and Jerry Reese, Anonymous in Memory Austria, the Galveston Arts Center, and Blue of Jim Kennedy, the Texas Commission on the Arts and the National Endowment Star Lab in San Antonio, among others.
