The Aggieland Art Trail brochure got an update!

Our main community project involves documenting all the public art in the Bryan-College Station area – The Aggieland Art Trail. We are now up to 102 art stops: galleries and museums, pottery, hotels, eateries, bars and a winery with indoor art, murals and sculptures. We just updated our brochure – take a look HERE and it is off to the printers.

Also, Jacqui Miller, our treasurer, and Wendy Keeney-Kennicutt, our president, wrote and received a City of Bryan’s Arts & Culture Development Grant for advertising and creating signage for stops on the art trail. They are presently applying for a renewal. It will include a Bandwango web application to create The Aggieland Art Trail on a mobile device with passports, check-ins, etc. We are excited. This entire project is great for advertising our organization and receiving sponsorships! We will keep you posted!
