Worth a Visit
Oct 2021 • Couples
If you are an art fan, this little gallery is worth the trip. Located in the heart of the action, it is easy to get to, has ample parking, and no entrance fee. The proprietor is delightful and offers complimentary wine and chocolates.

The art is not all from locals but is mostly coastal oriented and surprisingly good. These aren’t grandma’s paintings hanging in her own shop. We bought one small piece and would have adopted another, bigger one if we had a wall to hang it on.

Neat little plane and definitely worth a visit. We spent a little under an hour there, but you could easily spend half that time.

Beautiful local art
Mar 2020 • Family
I love to support the local art community and collect a little bit, wherever I travel. This time, I found some glass earrings, to give as a gift to my mother. The volunteer working was very friendly and helpful! Stained glass, water colors, oils, photographs......you name it! Including classes, if you’re so inclined.

Beautiful Artwork
Apr 2021
As a crafter, I appreciated the quality and variety of the artwork. There was a great variety. I enjoyed talking to one of the artists about his work and other crafts too.

souvenirs for the Grandkids

Great place to pick up souvenirs for all the Grand Kids after a nice vacation to Port A. We were able to get them all a gift and ourselves gifts without breaking the bank. They have everything you can imagine and then some.

Beautiful art center
Sep 2019
This art center is filled with light and has many works from local artists. It is on the main street in Port Aransas, and has a very spacious feeling about it, even though there are many panels of art displayed there.

Local Artist
May 2018 • Couples
The new Art Center is a place that I enjoyed on my visit to the area. A lot of talented local artist with great inspiration for the local surrounding area. Worth stopping by to look over what inspires the local artist in their paintings, and other art work.

I love to visit the Port Aransas Art Center often and discover the beautiful work from the local artist. This month, May 2018, there are so many lovely pieces of the wildlife and landscape of Port Aransas. The staff is very friendly and informative.
