BIG SHOW GOES VIRTUAL
We are happy to announce that the BIG Show is no live on our website! Even though we long for the days where we can enjoy this and other exhibits in the beautiful large halls of the Texas State University Round Rock Campus, we know that the show must go on, and the art must be shared. 48 BIG art pieces from various talented local artists are showcased in a beautiful virtual exhibit.
BIG Virtual Opening Night Event will be October 3 at 6pm, and we expect to honor the exhibit’s name with lots of surprises. Stay tuned!
