Marshall Visual Art Center

 

 

New life from an old building -- the best of all worlds in the Marshall Visual Art Center. A laundry building in its original life, the beautifully redone building houses a variety of activities. Artists in residence rent spaces flooded with light thanks to the clerestory windows. These artists not only have great workspace but also have the opportunity to interact with other artists and show their work. Original works of art are available for sale including paintings, pottery, sculpture and handmade items of all descriptions. Open Monday through Friday.

The Banquet/Creativity Hall is a large open room with great natural lighting serving many needs -- banquets, meetings, weddings, church groups, etc. At night you can party under the stars thanks to twinkle lights on the ceiling. Accommodates up to 350 people.

Each year nine art exhibits in the Gallery display works from regional artists. Open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. till 6:00 p.m.

Children's Art Camp allows young ones ages 4 to 12 to have fun while learning painting and drawing, clay works, mixed media and performing arts. Tuition is $85.00 per week for students ages 6 - 12 and $35.00 for ages 4 and 5 including all supplies.  Three 1-week sessions begin in July. Partial scholarships based on financial need are available. This program is partially sponsored by the Texas Commission on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Community Art Classes in a variety of techniques and mediums are available for adults and children each season. Call for (903) 938-9860 details.
