Mark Pompelia, new Curator of Visual Resources at Rice University, reports that there is renewed interest in forming an official VRA Texas chapter. At an informal meeting in May, a steering committee of Houston-area visual resources curators was established. At that meeting it was decided that an organizational meeting would be held in early June, leading to the establishment of an official chapter in early Fall. The VRA Lone Star Chapter will hold its first chapter meeting in conjunction with ARLIS/Texas-Mexico this October in Houston.
