## About

Free-admission nonprofit arts center on the Texas coast with exhibits, classes, performances and public art.

Rockport Center for the Arts is a nonprofit, multi-disciplinary arts center in Rockport, Texas, operated by the Rockport Art Association, Inc. It hosts exhibits, special events, education workshops and classes for children and adults, performing arts, literary and culinary programs, and a citywide public art program. Its mission is to be the catalyst and epicenter for opportunities to explore the creative arts, and admission is always free.

The association grew out of a local artists' guild and a 1969 nonprofit corporation, and it opened a new campus in the Rockport Cultural Arts District in December 2022 after Hurricane Harvey destroyed its original building. The center also has a sculpture garden and draws over 50,000 visitors a year.
