Seeing Patterns: Amarillo Artist Kegan Hollis Opens "Invisible Iconography" Exhibit on April 2

High Plains Public Radio | By Jenny Inzerillo

Published March 19, 2021 at 12:59 PM CDT

This week on High Plains Morning, we talked to Amarillo artist (and newly-appointed early education instructor) Kegan Hollis about his forthcoming exhibit, “Invisible Iconography” at the Invisible Genie Gallery (321 SW 7th Ave., Amarillo) on Friday, April 2^nd from 8:00 to 11:00 pm CT. One of the first exhibits of 2021 featuring independent regional artists in the Texas Panhandle, Kegan said this show “pulls inspiration from the imprints on every day industrial items.” To preserve social-distancing protocols and put health first, the indoor gallery will limit the number of viewers allowed in the space at one time, but there will also be an outdoor space with vintage clothing for sale, an area to peruse local “zines,” and enjoy refreshments. Feel free to bring your own beverages, and please wear a mask. If you have questions, contact the gallery at (806) 676-0675. More information about this event can be found here. If you have questions for the artist, he can be reached via email. Hear our full interview about this show on the link below.

Meet Emma, the AI assistant answering the phones at Amarillo City Hall

Just in time for high summer, a surge in COVID cases? What officials are saying about a new subvariant. It could be a very wet 72 hours of so for much of Southeast Texas and beyond as meteorologists focus on what could be the first big storm of hurricane season coming together in the Gulf of Mexico. In Amarillo, phones at City Hall are answered by Emma – a first-of-its-kind virtual assistant powered by AI, built specifically for the city.
