Glasstire Review - Sights Unseen: Cleburne Cafeteria

Glasstire is a blog that - despite sounding like a microbrew beer - addresses what its banner declares: Texas visual art. More than just current art exhibitions and the like, however, they also frequently deal with things outside the usual box.

For example, the article "Sights Unseen: Cleburne Cafeteria" deals with Houston restaurant that bridges into the realm of a private art exhibition. The cafeteria was founded in 1952 by a Greek immigrant who lived art and painting, and decorated the walls of his restaurant with his paintings that waxed nostalgic about his old country. Really a fascinating article about the intersections between function and art.
