Upstairs in the historic jail
In 1928-29, British author Virginia Wolf (1882-1941), made the case that in order to write, it was necessary to have a room of one's own.
The Old Jail Art Center (OJAC) is turning over its historic cells to contemporary artists in this series, A Cell of One's Own, in the hopes that each artist will create unique works of art for the two galleries.
The fall Cell Series features Dallas artist and Hardin-Simmons University alumnus John Frost '96. The museum was intrigued by site-specific works Frost had done in gallery exhibits over the last several years, incorporating wood, metal, porcelain, and graphic components.
Dr. Pam Williford, dean of the Irvin School of Education says she wouldn't miss this. "John has achieved so much in the world of art. He has had exhibits at universities within and without the state of Texas and at most of the reputable galleries of modern art in the DFW area. He is such a fine young artist; I don't think anyone will be disappointed in his exhibit!"
Hosted by the Hardin-Simmons University Board of Young Associates in partnership with the Old Jail Art Center...

From Abilene:
Albany is just a 30-minute drive northeast of Abilene. Take State highway 351 northeast of Abilene, and follow it for about 20 miles. Then take the ramp onto U.S. Highway 180 East. Follow this road for about 10 miles, all the way into Albany until you come to the stoplight. Turn right at the light. The art center will be two clocks down, directly on your right.
