The series ran at the Briscoe from 2014 through 2017, according to a press release. The shows previously showcased artists such as country singer Robert Earl Keen, civil rights activist Dolores Huerta and artist Billy Schenck.
The rebooted series will happen biannually, with dates set through 2026, the release said. It will highlight acclaimed storytellers from Texas Monthly as well as musicians, scholars, and sages who share stories that form the fabric of Texas and the American West.
“Rooted in history and flourishing today, the story of Texas is intertwined with the story of the West, and Texas’ influence on the West is undeniable,” Liz Jackson, president and CEO of the Briscoe Western Art Museum, said. “Partnering with the Alamo to share this series and give modern voice to the spirit that’s rooted in the history of Texas is an honor.”
Conversation with Benson for “Voices of the West: Living Legends” will be on Sept. 11 at the Briscoe Western Art Museum, located at 210 W. Market St.
Doors open at 6 p.m. to allow people to sign in and explore the museum’s first floor. Conversations with Benson will start at 7 p.m. and include a question-and-answer session.
