Never knew this art museum was here until
I stumbled in one day! All exhibitions are free, including a downstairs and upstairs exhibit! Art rotates out periodically. Will be back in the future!

I like the mission of the Galveston Arts Center and its exhibits feature local artists from around the Texas Gulf Coast region. They host the Galveston Art Walk from March to October annually and organize a lot of educational events for kids and adults at the arts center as well as in the community. Whenever a new exhibit launches, the artist would present a talk about their work and art pieces. There is a main exhibition hall on the first floor and a wine vendor, Florino, in the left corner. There are stairs on the left or in the back of the building that will take you to the second floor where there are two smaller exhibition spaces and a classroom. Admission is free and donations are welcome. I volunteer at the arts center from time to time and I love it! This building also has an interesting history, so it's a plus for anyone who might be interested in Galveston's history.

We stopped by to cool off and saw some amazing are. Where we visited there were a few exhibits involving mixed media that were stunning and really kept the interest of the whole family. The staff are very nice and welcoming. At the time there was also a wine tasting going on. The gallery is very clean, multi story and has bathrooms available. Highly recommend stopping by and checking out the latest exhibits.

This is the place to go for quality contemporary art exhibitions in Galveston. I try to stop by whenever I’m on the island. The front desk person is friendly and helpful for info on the exhibits.
