Arthouse at the Jones Center

Arthouse

Great Downtown Art

Description

As headquarters to the oldest statewide visual arts organization in Texas, there's always something interesting exhibiting at the Arthouse. The Texas Fine Arts Association was founded in 1911 with a mission to safeguard the collection of sculptor Elisabet Ney, but their focus soon expanded to promote the visual arts throughout the state with a touring program. Today, the center also serves as a resource for Texas artists, offering insurance, discount art supplies, and an Emergency Relief Fund, and offers innovative and educational programming for the art-loving community. But it's not just art by Texans you'll find filling the space here. The Jones Center opened its doors in 1998 as the TFAA's headquarters, and features a year-round schedule of free art exhibitions from all over the world. Stop in and browse the gallery space for a bit of culture after dinner downtown.
