The Museum of Western Art in Kerrville, Texas, will present ‘Two Visions of the West,’ an exhibition bringing together the work of sculptor Eric Slocombe and painter Bill Kalwick. The exhibition is scheduled to run from November 14, 2026, through January 9, 2027.
The museum’s announcement describes the presentation as an exploration of “two visions of the American West” through the contrasting disciplines of sculpture and painting. The exhibition page characterizes Slocombe’s and Kalwick’s approaches as “complimentary and yet individual in their styles,” promising a distinct interpretation of the region through the work of each artist. No further details about the number of works, individual titles or the exhibition’s curatorial framework have been released in the supplied material.
‘Two Visions of the West’ is listed as an exhibition presented in addition to works from the Museum of Western Art’s permanent collection. It follows ‘The Enchanted West of Adrienne Stein,’ which is scheduled to remain on view from August 22 through November 7, 2026. That exhibition features Stein’s paintings alongside works from the collection and is described by the museum as a presentation focused on the natural world, symbolic imagery and environments that combine reality and fantasy.
The museum is dedicated to the collection, preservation and promotion of Western heritage, as well as to the education and cultural enrichment of its audiences. Its website identifies the institution as being located in Kerrville’s Texas Hill Country, northwest of San Antonio, at 1550 Bandera Highway. The museum’s programming includes exhibitions, workshops, tours, educational activities and a permanent collection devoted to Western art and heritage.
The upcoming exhibition will appear within a broader 2026–27 schedule centered on artists and themes associated with the American West. After ‘Two Visions of the West’ closes, the museum lists ‘A West of Her Own: American Women Artists,’ scheduled for January 16 through April 17, 2027. That exhibition will celebrate the heritage of the American West through the work of members of American Women Artists, an organization founded in Tucson, Arizona, by women artists working in the Western genre.
The museum’s announcement identifies Slocombe as a sculptor and Kalwick as a painter but does not provide additional biographical information, medium details or programming connected specifically to ‘Two Visions of the West.’ The exhibition is scheduled at the Museum of Western Art in Kerrville from November 14, 2026, to January 9, 2027.
