This is my second time to the art center. I definitely recommend when you are in corpus to check out this place. They have many art pieces raining and very surprises as little as seven dollars for some earrings up to several thousand dollars for art piece. I have gotten several small things, but I would say these coasters are my favorite. The food is phenomenal as well. The restaurant that is located inside.

The Art Center is for artists to display, sell, and learn. It is free, with a simple box for donations. The current main display is the gowns from the Las Donas de la Corte event; usually only 3 weeks displayed. Small side galleries and hallways filled with ceramics, jewelry, inspired pieces and paintings. There is a wonderful, slightly pricey, restaurant connected to The Art Center; great drinks and very good food.

This is our 2nd time visiting this place and we really enjoy it. There is a lot of neat art work for sale from local artists. It looks like they even have added event space and a restaraunt or cocktail bar in the building. This is definitely a unique location and its worth coming to check out from time to time.

Oh! My dear Loats Jesus. This is a wonderful place to visit. It has a restaurant to enjoy a great meal. Prices on the painting and crafts are at a great price. I took many pictures to enjoy watching. I will share with you all. I hope this helps. We did not have to pay for entrance. It was free. You will need to ask to make sure. Very nice people out there that are willing to help you out.

So much amazing and local art here! We had the pleasure of visiting during the week and had the whole place to ourselves to enjoy. I’m not sure who the gentleman was at the front, but I really appreciate his mentality when we asked him how much the admission fee was and he plainly said something around the lines of, “It’s free. Art should always be free to enjoy”. Thank y’all for all the great art and for keeping it free for everyone to enjoy 😊 I believe you can also purchase some of art. We will definitely be back. Below are some of my favorite pieces of art!
