I was so impressed with the Edom Art House. I was led here by the ladies at Vintage Cork in Ben…read moreWheeler. It was a Sunday and I popped in not long before they closed. The man working there was so friendly and informative. He was proud of their offerings and welcomed me coming in close to closing. I was just passing through and didn't want to keep them, but this is definitely a place worth checking out. The whole town is super cute and caters to local artists and this place is really a surprise when you find yourself just meandering through East Texas.

This place is deplorable. It's so dusty in here, I couldn't even go in to see the art. I don't know…read moreif it's the carpet, or the ventilation system, or what, but it smells very old, dusty and unhealthy. Even the staff complain of frequent respiratory symptoms, just sitting there at the desk all day. You know, if you're going to call yourself a museum (and charge admission!), you have to meet certain standards - like breathability in your building!!! This place would be a joke if it weren't so disappointing. Oh, Tyler... Tyler, Tyler, Tyler... First your miserable, wretched loop of nothing but strip malls, chain restaurants and parking lots; then your frustrating, pathetic library... and now this. It's sad.

Admittedly, as an art teacher and painter, I am always in support of museums, no matter how dinky, in small towns. But the TMA is a great space and hosts some fantastic exhibits each year. It's tucked away on the Tyler Junior College campus, and its nondescript exterior hides a lovely cafe area, three ample gallery spaces and a cute patio area with fountain and outdoor sculptures. It's never expensive and hosts several fun events throughout the year. Best of all, somehow the TMA manages to get their hands on some truly stellar pieces... the collection of art books by Letscher a couple years ago was one of the best I've seen (take it from a former Dallas- and Paris-resident). I wish their website were more information and interactive and that they were more visible in the community, but the TMA is without a doubt one of the hidden jewels of Tyler. And when you're done there, wander across the street to the TJC art department to see their rotating exhibits..
