Our Vision:
To create, support, and promote an inclusive community where lives are transformed and enriched through the shared experience of art.
We are a 501 (c) (3) organization formed in 2009 as the Round Rock Area Arts Council dba Round Rock Arts. We are located in The Downtowner Gallery at 231 E. Main, Ste 160, in Round Rock Texas. The space is provided to us by the City of Round Rock to host workshops and to showcase local art in the gallery.
· We support local visual artists by showcasing original art at 3 venues: Williamson County Jester Annex, Texas State University-Round Rock, and the City of Round Rock’s Downtowner Art Gallery (in collaboration with the city of Round Rock’s Art & Culture Department). Art shows are curated by competitive Open Calls for Art (via blind jury so every artist has equal opportunity) and organized group shows as posted.
· We reach out to the community by offering Workshops, Art Talks and cross-disciplinary platforms (music, poetry, dance) in addition to free family centered content (YouTube and social media).
· We assist the City of Round Rock with the PopUp art festival on Prete Plaza and Chalk Walk’s competitive art show at Dell Diamond (originally hosted by Round Rock Arts and now sponsored by the City of Round Rock Arts and Culture, our nonprofit continues its active role in the festival, hosting the ever-popular attraction, the children’s chalking area.)
We depend on a growing cadre of volunteers to ensure we can attain this vision. We would love for you to join us – find out more about volunteering for our Board or one of our Committees here.
