Collaborators: Toussaint St. Negritude (poetry) / Aralee Dorough, Colin
Jack Massing attended the Glassell School of Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and graduated from the University of Houston. While a student, he met Michael Galbreth and began a 34 year collaboration known as The Art Guys, who used a “direct-to-the public” methodology that often circumvented the established art world. They staged exhibitions and events at grocery stores, movie theaters, airports, restaurants, sports arenas, and many other non-traditional venues. The Art Guys’ work has been included in more than 150 exhibitions in museums, galleries and public spaces throughout the United States, Europe and Asia. Most recently, their work is included in the 2021 installation of the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
