Art makes visible what was invisible.

Original immersive art experiences are transformative. When we enter an installation such as One Point Five Degrees, we embark on a journey that connects the artist’s talent, creativity, and vision to our own view of the world. From our vantage point inside the art itself, we tap into a sense of wonder as we rediscover that truth seldom sits on the surface.

detail of FLORALIA by Sabrina Ratté

"The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report on 1.5 degrees Celsius is a stark reminder of the urgent need for action to address climate change. It tells us that every bit of warming matters and that the difference between 1.5 and 2 degrees Celsius is significant, especially for vulnerable communities and ecosystems. We must heed this call and accelerate efforts to reduce emissions and protect our planet."
- António Guterres
Secretary-General of the United Nations

Adam Fung

Adam Fung is a Fort Worth-based artist who has created work linked to journeys, the land/sea, patterns of the universe, and climate change over the last 20 years. This has led him to field studies in Antarctic, West Texas, Australia, and the high Arctic, plus visits to particle accelerators and observatories, seed vaults, and other science-related sites around the world.

Fung’s on-going works reflect cycles of time, beauty, and sublime color while using site-specific experiences and photography as a jumping off point. Audiences are invited to contemplate their understanding and relationship to his imagery, especially in the context of global changes due to widespread human activity on the planet.

Sabrina Ratté

Sabrina Ratté, a Canadian artist based in Montreal, explores the diverse forms of digital imagery. Her artistic practice encompasses a wide array of mediums, including analog video, 3D animation, photography, printmaking, sculpture, virtual reality, and installation.

By continuously incorporating new techniques into her work, she delves into recurring themes that include the influence of architecture and the digital environment on our perception of the world, our relationship with the virtual aspects of existence, and the convergence of technology and the natural world.

Pompeii: The Immortal City

March 30 - June 23, 2024

In just 24 hours, Pompeii and neighboring Herculaneum were buried by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Lost for centuries, the site remained nearly untouched until 1748.

Today, advanced scientific research continues to uncover the extraordinary achievements of Pompeii and the Roman world. This exhibition includes the most recent of those discoveries. 

The new AMA is the only place in Texas to see Pompeii: The Immortal City.
