From Nine to Ninety: A Retrospective of the Sculpture of Robert Pollock


Moody Performance Hall

Creative Arts Center of Dallas presents an exhibition of 19 contemporary sculptures from sculptor Rob Pollock, a long-time student at CAC, who studied under the school's founder Octavio Medellin. From Nine to Ninety: A Retrospective of the Sculpture of Robert Pollock will be presented in collaboration with the Moody Performance Hall and opens April 2 in celebration of Dallas Arts Month. The exhibit will be on view through June 17 and there will be a special artist reception on Sunday, June 3 from 3pm to 5pm in honor of the 90-year-old, self-taught sculptor.

According to Diana Pollak, Executive Director of the Creative Arts Center, the exhibit will celebrate the life work of Rob Pollock, who has also donated his collection to CAC. "We wanted to launch this show during Dallas Arts Month, which was started by Mayor Mike Rawlings as Dallas Arts Week in 2013, because it was Mayor Rawlings who dubbed CAC, "a place for the citizen artist" when he came to tour the Center several years ago," she said. "I can't think of anyone more deserving of the title as a citizen artist than Rob Pollock." 

The pieces will be for sale once the exhibition ends. Says Diana Pollak, "Four pieces have already sold through word of mouth alone raising significant funds for CAC. Our partnership with the Moody Performance Hall and the Office of Cultural Affairs to showcase this collection will bring a much wider audience to view Rob's work."
