Five Points Museum of Contemporary Art history-Victoria’s heritage was born from the diversity of Mexican and European foundations and tolerance of the varied cultures and religions those immigrants brought. The Five Points Museum of Contemporary Art serves as an art and cultural nexus that reflects that rich history and promising future of South Texas.
Museum founder Ann Harithas has deep ties to Victoria. She grew up in Victoria and Tivoli and has been involved in creating art and curating artists since the 1970’s. From gallery owner to internationally exhibited artist, Mrs. Harithas also founded Houston’s Art Car Museum, and has dedicated herself to exploring contemporary art and its connection to the community.
She chose to create an exhibition space at the “Five Points” intersection for both its literal central location and its symbolic placement at the “crossroads” of South Texas. The museum has been crafted from a repurposed car dealership built in the mid-20th century, and is currently in the process of a multi-year remodeling effort.
Five Points Museum will be hosting its second open call exhibition in 2024, in celebration of Victoria’s Bicentennial. The theme is “Timeline: 200 Years” The timeline of the last 200 years, since Victoria was founded. Exhibition is from March 2-June 9, 2024. Leah Lawless-Smith will have four paintings in this exhibition.

The R.W. Norton Art Gallery is a teaching museum that uses the art to encourage community participation in thoughtful interpretations and discussions.
In the early 1920's, Richard W. Norton (1886-1940) became one of the discoverers of the Rodessa Oil Field in north Louisiana. Over time, Mr. Norton's wife and son began to amass a significant collection of fine art. In 1946, to honor Mr. Norton and for the benefit of the community, Richard W. Norton, Jr. (1919-1974) and his mother, Mrs. Richard W. Norton (1886-1975) created the R.W. Norton Art Foundation. In turn, the Foundation eventually established the R.W. Norton Art Gallery, basing its initial collection upon donations from the acquisitions of the Norton's. Today, due to the on-going efforts of the Board of Control and the Foundation's work, the R.W. Norton Art Gallery's offerings continue to expand, grow, and contribute to their community.
Each year the R.W. Norton Art Gallery holds the juried BLOOM! Exhibition, which coincides with the annual BLOOM! Festival held in their 40 acres of botanical gardens where they have the largest azalea gardens in the state of Louisiana. Leah Lawless-Smith will have a colorful bloom painting as part of this wonderful exhibition. Exhibition March 28-May 12, 2024. Leah Lawless-Smith has one painting in the show called Yellow Hibiscus.

The Fort Smith Regional Art Museum (RAM) originated in 1948 under the Arkansas Association of University Women.

In 1960, space for an art center was purchased, and in 1968, the Fort Smith Art Center was incorporated.
Inclusive artistic expression comes from artists being aware of their own biases and actively seeking out and considering different perspectives. These different perspectives can be about something as straight forward as switching to a new medium or it can be about something as profound as being reminded that inspiration can be found within all things and all cultures. This year’s Annual Invitational invites artists to help us celebrate all things Inclusive. Leah Lawless-Smith has a painting in the show.
