Downtown Holiday Reception Showcases Texas School for the Deaf
Student Artwork
Austin, Texas December 18, 2007 If you have not seen the windows of
the Scarbrough building dressed for the holiday season yet, you will
not want to miss the incredible exhibit of art and history on
display.
Students from the Texas School for the Deaf (TSD) who have dressed
the windows of the historic Scarbrough building at Sixth Street and
Congress Avenue in downtown Austin, invite you to take a look. Today,
a holiday reception is being held in the Horizon Bank lobby on the
ground floor of the building, from 5:00 to 8:00 PM. Hosted by the TSD
Foundation and sponsored by Horizon Bank, friends and supporters of
TSD are invited for a special guided tour of the current student
exhibit, as well as a look into the schools long history of
educating deaf and hard of hearing children in Texas. Each window
tells its own story and acquaints onlookers with the aspiring artists
behind the creative works.
On exhibit through January 7th, the Scarbrough windows are adorned
with large four by eight foot multimedia posters, holiday inspired
art and video compilations. Also on display is a hanging photo
montage and a giant Hands mobile, all created by TSD student
artists. Featured in the Sixth Street window is a winterized replica
of the schools treasured Towers building that dominated the Austin
skyline from 1877 to 1957. The Sixth Street art deco lobby of the
Scarbrough showcases pieces from TSDs historical exhibit, The
Greatest Story Never Heard , originally on display last year at the
Austin Bergstrom International Airport in honor of the TSDs
Sesquicentennial anniversary. Comparing items then and now from the
last 100 years, see the evolution of educational approaches in the
classroom, school uniforms, assistive technologies and athletics. See
how TSD has grown into a leading-edge institution of learning with a
national reputation for excellence in deaf education.
