The museum hosts a year-round schedule of traveling exhibitions. Outdoor stages designed for speaking events and live music performances sit just outside the main building along with one of the few spaces in the world dedicated solely to sound art in the Butler Sound Gallery, and, in alignment with Museum Week’s environmental theme, 12 three-story canopy sculptures capturing and filtering rainwater to native plants on a cloudy day and casting a dappled effect on the grounds when the sun shines. The Blanton achieved its latest feat on May 13 with the unveiling of its new grounds. With the largest and most comprehensive collection of art in Central Texas, the Blanton Museum of Art serves as a front door to UT, a landmark for the city of Austin and a major resource to the community.
