Pogue Studio And Foundry

Warriors

Dan is busy creating new sculptures. He has finished the "Warriors" sculpture (pictured left). It is 15 feet and was placed at Liberty Christian School near Denton, TX in September, 2005. "The Lucress Watson Memorial" (pictured below left), was finished early in 2006. It was delivered to the Watson Foundation in Franklin, TX to be installed this summer in front of their new corporate building. A life size boy and girl reading will be placed at the new Georgetown Library in the Fall of 2006. The boy is a companion piece to Danielle's Discovery" in the Religious & Monumental Section. Pogue is now creating a sculpture for the University of Texas Geology Department, protraying two lifesize surveyors, Ronald DeFord and Ed Owen, in a 1930's Western setting. (See clay original in process pictured below.) It will be installed in the Fall of 2006.

Dan participated in a two man show at the Fourth Street Gallery in Lampasas, TX the month of August with a reception on July 1.  Also showing sculpture at the Austin Parade of Homes through the Gallery, he was well received at both and sold several pieces.  

      Pogue was asked to exhibit his work and travel with the Austin Delegation of the Austin/Saltillo Sister Cities Association Cultural Exchange Program and other artists to Saltillo, Mexico on July 22-25.  Former Mayor Gus Garcia, wife Marina and councilman, Mike Martinez we among the delegation to go.  Besides the Art Exhibit at the University museum in Saltillo, other exchanges of water management, fire, police and ems development were going on during this time.  A bus was chartered carrying 32 delegates to Saltillo, where we were treaated like VIP's by the host city.  Saltillo is a very historic city, celebrating it's 429th anniversary.  Among the activities were the mayor's luncheon, several meals with dignitaries, a visit to artist Jose Antonio's Garcia Guerra's home and studio, the cultural exchange seminar and workshops and visits to resorts, vineyards and churches.  

      On August 23, a reception for the month long exhibit was held at the Crossings Spa & Resort in Austin.  Several of Dan's sculpture are displayed inside and around the grounds of the resort. The receptive attendees helped make this an ideal location for an art exhibit.  

      Pogue was selected again to exhibit in September, at the Rio Brazos exhibit at Tarleton State University.  He has been involved in several fundraising events such as the Falls on the Colorado Museum in Marble Falls. He will be showing in San Antonio in November, 2006 and at the Night of Artists Gala  in March, 2007. 

Dan and Tom Morgan have collaborated to create a 3/4 life size family in bronze, "Passing of the Colors". It is a timeless tribute in honor of Veterans and the Patriotic spirit of the American people.

We are currently installing Dan's work in the sculpture garden on the grounds of the Pogue Gallery here in Marble Falls. Its a beautiful setting under a grove of Live Oak Trees and a dry / wet weather creek.

The Gallery and Foundry host several tours and fundraising events during the year for different groups. You are welcome to call and arrange for a tour for your group or on an individual basis.
