Join us as we highlight the Cowboys and Creatives who call San Angelo home, and experience the beauty and ingenuity of their creations firsthand.

The program will feature artwork from a specific medium each quarter, with the medium rotation determined in advance.

• Q1 Medium (Jan-March)- Mixed Media
• Q2 Medium (April-June)- Painting & Drawing
• Q3 Medium (July-September)-Ceramics & Sculpture
