The Art Center of Corpus Christi

Welcome to The Art Center of Corpus Christi

Since its inception in 1972, The Art Center of Corpus Christi has been a beacon of creativity and community engagement. Founded by a passionate group of citizens, this vibrant center has dedicated itself to nurturing local artists and providing a space where art can be seen, created, and celebrated. Located in the heart of Corpus Christi’s bay front district, the center has evolved over the past 50 years into a thriving hub for artistic expression.

A Rich History of Community and Creativity

The journey began in the old Centennial Museum building, where artists and community members gathered for meetings, exhibitions, and workshops. In the 1980s, through persistent efforts and community support, The Art Center secured a new home at 100 North Shoreline Boulevard, transforming a historic building into a modern facility that now spans 25,000 square feet. This transformation has allowed the center to host nearly 200,000 visitors each year, providing free admission to all.

The Art Center of Corpus Christi is more than just a venue; it is a vital part of the local culture. It offers art education programs for all ages, helping to advance the careers of artists at every stage.
