Discover the Longview Museum of Fine Arts

Founded in 1958 by the Junior League of Longview, the Longview Museum of Fine Arts (LMFA) has been a cornerstone of cultural arts in East Texas. The museum began its journey with annual art invitational competitions, acquiring over 50 significant pieces of art that laid the foundation for its permanent collection. Today, LMFA boasts nearly 1,000 works, focusing on early Texas regionalist art from the 1930s to 1970s, while also embracing culturally significant pieces from the 19th century to the present.

LMFA is dedicated to fostering art education and appreciation among the youth. The annual student invitational showcases over 300 pieces from high school students across East Texas, encouraging budding artists and promoting art education programming. The museum also features the JT Smith Sculpture Garden, a serene green space in downtown Longview, redesigned in 2018 to enhance community engagement and provide a beautiful setting for performances and events.
