Exhibition: 'Everyday People' by Jerome Cabeen

Art Museum Of Southeast Texas
500 Main Street
The Art Museum of Southeast Texas (AMSET) presents JEROME CABEEN: Everyday People on view from May 2 – July 28, 2024 in AMSET’s Café Arts series for local artists.
Cabeen is well-known in the Southeast Texas community for his photography. It was in 2004, when he began teaching art and directing Catholic missions internationally, that he took upphotography, capturing images of the many people and cultures who became friends, neighbors and passersby. This exhibition, Everyday People, features new digital photographs of the people and places that Cabeen has experienced in his recent travels.
Cabeen’s work has been featured prominently in the museum’s Café Arts space, including in a previous solo show in 2019 and in both of the Beaumont Camera Club’s annual juried exhibitions (2021 & 2023). The 2023 Camera Club group exhibition was juried by Houston-based appraiser Melanie Modica. She selected Cabeen’s photographs Caminando Hacia la Refriega and The One Eyed Jack Fleeing His Demons as Best in Show winners. As a result,
Cabeen was awarded a solo exhibition in the café for 2024. Funding is generously provided by philanthropists Rob Clark and Jerry Thacker.
An opening reception will take place on Friday, May 17, 2024, from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. in the museum’s café. This reception is free and open to the public. For more information, visit www.amset.org or call (409) 832-3432.
