How to get here

A spacious atrium and galleries features changing art exhibits:

• Exhibitions. Invitationals, student art exhibitions (Clear Creek and Friendswood ISD’s “Rodeo Art”; CCISD’s “Young at Art”; a “Mentor Show” in which area high school seniors’ and college art students’ works are displayed alongside their instructors’), collections (past shows have included private collections of vintage surfboards, guitars, motorcycles and automobiles) and other special, thought-provoking exhibitions (assembled works in neon and glass by renowned glass artists from across the state of Texas) have delighted, challenged and inspired thousands of visitors.
