Come visit our winter art show “Resolutions” at the Arts Council of Brazos Valley, 4180 Hwy 6, College Station, TX 77845. It is a great show. Come by and you might find art that speaks to you. We have 22 members showcasing 69 of their more recent art – including oil, acrylic, watercolor, abstract, mixed media, lithographs, photography, glass and fiber art. Come see the wide range of incredible art from our members!
For this exhibition, we encouraged artists to explore the theme of new beginnings by thinking about the challenges, rewards and images of starting over, as well as the power of art to help us visualize our hopes and dreams for the future.
