our story
The idea for another art organization in the Boerne area began a year or so ago. A few artist friends were talking about how we missed being part of a larger group. We missed hearing about other artists' art projects. We missed exchanging ideas and information. We missed the energy that was created when we are in the presence of other artists.
​
And so we gathered some artists to form a focus group to determine whether or not there was interest in forming a group and what that group might look like. Here's what came out of that meeting.
​
The vision was for an organization that:
-
Was inclusive and welcomed artists and art lovers
-
Operated as a non-profit
-
Organized programs that benefited artists and community
-
Organized an annual juried charity art show
-
Interacted with other art organizations
-
Connected and supported a community of people who create and/or appreciate visual arts.
​And so we got to work....
