The Goss-Michael Foundation Selected in US Top Ten Private Contemporary Art Museums

 

 Goss-Michael Foundation (goss-michaelfoundation.org) has been honored to be selected as one of the top ten private contemporary art museums in the United States by artnet© News .  The Goss-Michael Foundation joins an esteemed list including The Brant Foundation Study Center, the Rubell Family Collection and notable others.  The Goss-Michael Foundation and the Linda Pace Foundation are two Texas foundations honored this year.

 

The Goss-Michael Foundation is one of the leading contemporary British art collections in the United States. Founded by George Michael and Kenny Goss in 2007, the Goss-Michael Foundation has made its place in Dallas and across the United States as a unique art space dedicating its exhibition programming to some of the most important artists in recent contemporary art history including Tracey Emin, Damien Hirst, Sarah Lucas, Marc Quinn, and Michael Craig-Martin.

 

“When George Michael and I originally envisioned a museum solely focused on YBAs, we wanted to educate the public about the extraordinary art talents established and emerging in the UK.  As a Dallas native, I was fortunate to bring this collection to the city and find a home for The Goss-Michael Foundation.  The hundreds of thousands of U.S. and international visitors who have walked through our doors have been able to enjoy and meet some of the greatest UK artists,” said Kenny Goss.

 

The Goss-Michael Foundation has continued its extensive support of UK causes and artists by bringing the MTV RE:DEFINE event to Dallas for three years.  MTV RE:DEFINE (www.mtvredefine.com ) is a dynamic exhibition and auction that brings together music with iconic and specially commissioned artworks by established and emerging talent.  It has raised close to USD$4 million to date. Scheduled for April 10, 2015, and held at The Goss-Michael Foundation, the event is produced in collaboration with and benefits The MTV Staying Alive Foundation, The Goss-Michael Foundation and Dallas Contemporary. (www.mtvredefine.com). The 2015 event will honor renowned artist Michael Craig-Martin.

UNICEF Experience Drew Local Support for Global Issue

On Friday, March 1, the U.S. Fund for UNICEF hosted The UNICEF Experience Dallas, a one-of-a-kind event designed to raise funds for UNICEF and engage the local community around issues facing children across the globe. The second annual UNICEF Experience drew hundreds of local supporters, including Jessica Nowitzki, Catie and Aaron Enrico, Cavan and Sallie Groves, Mr. Faisal Halum and Brian Bolke, Jo Marie Lilly, Sheryl and Eric Maas, Lynn and Allan McBee, Ms. Selwyn A. Rayzor and Mr. Richard Moses, Gowri and Alex Sharma.

Guests got an insider view of UNICEF’s innovative programs in water and sanitation, emergencies, education, health and nutrition, and child protection; experienced what many vulnerable children in developing countries face just to survive; and had the opportunity to make a difference—all without leaving Dallas.

They also heard from Robert Thompson, Senior Vice President of Development at the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, who spoke about the importance of UNICEF’s global work on behalf of children and expressed his appreciation for the generous and ongoing support from the local community. “Without you, there are literally no resources to buy therapeutic food; to install water pumps; to train teachers; to provide lifesaving immunizations,” Thompson said in his address to attendees. “You make the lifesaving work of UNICEF possible.  The UNICEF story begins with each of us and ends with a child.”

Goss-Michael Foundation Social Event

The Goss Michael Foundation is partnering with Oil and Cotton to offer a social mixer and educational mash-up. Enjoy post-punk music while taking part in a creative project. Attendees will experience a class that provides an insightful and fun exploration of contemporary art. 

Participants will create an Identity Book and explore the impact of social media on our cultural and personal identities. They will construct the collage by combining images from mass media, Facebook, other social media profiles and various paper ephemera.  Social media platforms give individuals the tools to cut, paste, and edit photos and information to construct and edit (montage) personal identities that are often idealized versions of reality. Attendees will be able to reflect on the identity they have created for themselves through social media. No art making experience is needed.

Bryan Adams 'Exposed' Exhibit Makes Stop in Dallas

Goss-Michael Foundation is first stop for Bryan Adams "Exposed"

December 18, 2012 - February 8, 2013

You know him as the heartthrob Grammy-winning singer from the '80's and '90's with a string of number one hits.  Did you know that Bryan Adams is also a professional photographer?

For the past twelve years, musician Bryan Adams has sharpened his skills behind the camera by capturing intimate images of friends and colleagues, and his photography exhibition is making Dallas its first stop. The tour kicks off in Dallas at The Goss-Michael Foundation with 46 select images from his book "Exposed." The exhibit will be on display -- free and open to the public -- from Tuesday, December 18, through February 8, 2013. 

Portraits in the exhibition include Victoria Beckham, Lindsay Lohan, Amy Winehouse, Pink, Mick Jagger, Queen Elizabeth II, and Mickey Rourke.  "Bryan Adams represents an outstanding talent in multiple artistic mediums. With our Foundation's connection to the music industry, it was a natural to collaborate with City Arts Center to premiere Bryan's outstanding photography in Dallas," said Joyce Goss, executive director for The Goss-Michael Foundation.
