As the holiday season beckons us with its warmth and generosity, I find myself filled with gratitude for each and every one of you. Your unwavering support throughout this year has been the lifeline that sustains us, allowing the Port Aransas Art Center to flourish and fulfill its mission.

As a non-profit 501(c)(3), our journey is forged by the kindness and generosity of individuals who believe in the transformative power of art. Every art class taught, every piece of art displayed, and every student's dream nurtured is a testament to your belief in our mission. Each donation, large or small, ignites possibilities — from inspiring new artists, supporting local students, to simply keeping our doors open for the community to explore and create.

As we look forward to January 2025, we acknowledge the growing opportunities and challenges within the art world. Our commitment to adapt, innovate, and expand our impact is unwavering. Sometimes this means embracing innovative changes; other times, it’s about cherishing the small moments that make a difference.
