Big Bend Arts Council
Supporting & promoting the arts in the Big Bend region since 2004

BIG BEND GALLERY IS NOW OPEN!

 Big Bend Gallery, a project of Big Bend Arts Council, is a new art space born from the ashes of Gallery on the Square. We're a collaboration with CatchLight Art Gallery dedicated to fostering a thriving arts community in the Big Bend region of Texas.
 

The Big Bend Art Gallery is a celebration of the untamed beauty and rich diversity of the majestic Big Bend region of Texas. Featuring a curated collection of paintings, photography, jewelry, ceramics, stained glass, and mixed-media, each piece reflects the awe-inspiring nature and wildlife that make Big Bend so extraordinary.

From expansive desert scenes and rugged mountains to the delicate flora and captivating wildlife, the gallery showcases the work of talented artists who draw inspiration from the region’s natural wonders. Whether through the vivid colors of a sunset captured in a painting, the intricate textures of handcrafted ceramics, or the shimmering details of stained glass, every artwork in the gallery offers a window into the beauty and spirit of Big Bend.

Perfect for art collectors, nature lovers, and visitors to the area, the Big Bend Art Gallery is a must-see destination for those who appreciate art that connects them to the wild and vibrant soul of Texas’ Big Bend.
