Welcome to projectART

ARTSPACE Is Here

Together with your support, over $75,000 has been raised to support the establishment of ARTSPACE.

 

 

THANK YOU

 

 

With these funds, we’re excited to announce that we’ve secured a location in the heart of Wimberley.

 

Renovations are underway and we anticipate opening our doors this summer, at the Lowery House (formerly Sugar Shack), next to the Leaning Pear.

 

ARTSPACE will showcase contemporary Texas artists; offer a space for workshops, performances, after school programs, and summer camps; house a growing mentorship program (including internship and practicum opportunities); and perhaps most importantly, offer a safe space for teens to gather.

WHY SUPPORT THE ARTS?

  • 72% of Americans believe “the arts unify our communities regardless of age, race, and ethnicity."

  • Students who take 4 years of arts and music classes score an average of over 150 points higher on the SAT than students who take only .5 year or less.

  • A recent study showed that arts education experiences reduce the proportion of students in school receiving disciplinary infractions by 3.6%.
