Gallery On The SquareA Sponsored Gallery of the Big Bend Arts Council
Gallery On The Square (GOTS) is a cooperative gallery run by its members. Located at 115 West Holland Ave in Alpine, Texas, GOTS has been showing the work of local artists of the Big Bend Arts Council since 2009. During the Covid-19 restrictions, GOTS is open Thursdays - Sundays, 11 am - 5 pm, with extended hours to be posted for special events and holidays. Check out our list of gallery artists below, and stay tuned for upcoming shows which are open to all BBAC members.
Steering Committee Update
Two gallery members joined the Steering Committee in August, 2020. One position is being filled by Jean Northington, to replace Alberto Cavazos, a long-standing gallery member and GOTS treasurer, who recently vacated his seat on the committee. And an additional position is being filled by Sally Hickerson.
Both member artists have taken on special projects for moving the gallery in new directions while maintaining the traditional walk-in space. That means new ways for members to promote and sell their art!
