MUMENTOUS: The Upsizing of a Texas Tradition
Exhibition at the Arlington Museum of Art
September 27 – November 24, 2019
If it’s true you can’t judge a book by its cover, then it’s definitely true you can’t judge a homecoming mum by its size. That’s according to writer, artist and award-winning photographer Amy J. Schultz who has spent the last three years studying this ubiquitous Texas high school tradition.
Rather than focusing only on the physicality of mums, Amy explores driving forces behind the tradition including fan and pop culture through the years, football, critics, social media, entrepreneurship, DIY, & moms. Now her exhibition, which combines photography, video, 3D, and narrative, is debuting at the Arlington Museum of Art in Arlington, TX this fall.
