Currently on view at the Art Museum of Southeast Texas (AMSET) is a semi-permanent exhibition and interactive experience featuring the life and work of Beaumont self-taught artist Felix "Fox" Harris titled Somethin' Out of Nothin': the Works of Felix "Fox" Harris.
For over 20 years, Harris crafted totem-like sculptures of recycled materials and displayed them in his yard, creating a forest-like environment. Harris was inspired to make art by a vision from God telling him to set aside his old life and make a new one.

When most people think of billiards, many things come to mind: smoky pool halls, the clack of the cue ball striking the rack. Very few would think of museums, let alone the Smithsonian Institution. But the Smithsonian has in its collection one of the many pool cues of artist Richard Black.
The Art Museum of Southeast Texas (AMSET) is pleased to offer The Art of Cue by Richard Black for rental by museums. This exhibition is comprised of over 30 intricate, hand crafted cue sticks made by Black, a master craftsman from Humble, Texas. Although Black is well known in the pool cue world, this is his first solo art museum exhibition.

The Art Museum of Southeast Texas (AMSET) is pleased to offer Whistler: Realism in Print, a series of 23 prints by revered 19th Century artist James A. McNeill Whistler for rental by museums. The collection was a gift from Beaumont physician and arts philanthropist Dr. Richard L. Shorkey.
Whistler, best known for the painting "Arrangement in Grey and Black" (a.k.a. "Whistler's Mother"), was born in Lowell, Massachusetts in 1834. While he is considered one of the greatest painters of the 19th Century, his etchings and prints are also quite renowned.
The artist spent most of his adult life in Europe.
