GREAT ART GALLERY IN DOWNTOWN TEXARKANA!
The Texarkana Regional Arts and Humanities Council (TRAHC) which is housed in a 1908 Federal Courthouse Building in Texarkana's Arts District was named Best Art Gallery in 2014 by the readers of the Texas Magazine, CountyLine Magazine, which serves the Upper East Side of Texas. The talents of local, regional, and national artists are displayed on 3 floors. They host an annual regional juried student show and an adult exhibition as well. We were fortunate enough to catch the exhibit of Baron Stanhope, a Retrospective, before it closed on October 31. Cabe Hall which is located on the second floor would be a wonderful place to host any event since it can accommodate up to 150 guests. Kaye Baxter, Rental & Volunteer Coordinator, and her staff will help you coordinate all of your event arrangements from flower services, to catering to photo shoots and ceremonies. Texarkana is most fortunate to have a wonderful groups of vendors who are gifted at providing whatever service you may require to make your special event a success. I was very impressed by their Women for the Arts (WFA) For Art's Sake Gift Shop which is located on the First Floor. Even though I have visited other art museum gift shops, I found this gift shop to contain such a varied and wonderful selection of gifts at every price starting from $6. I was fortunate enough to purchase a small gold Christmas Tree which will be a welcome addition to my Christmas decorations this year. Nothing like Decking the Halls during the Holidays! Finally, I want to mention that you should mark your calendars for their upcoming ARTS MARKET where local and regional artists will have their art displayed in the Arts Center at the Museum. The Arts Market will be held on Friday, December 4 from 10 am to 5 pm and Saturday, December 5 from 10 am to 4 pm Travelers Note: Yes, they do have dedicated Parking for their museum's visitors. However, since the parking spots are limited to about 10, you might consider parking on the street or at the train station nearby!

The Building is a Work of Art, Itself
Lovely building with rotating exhibits which are thoughtfully curated. TRAHC also hosts numerous art classes in this building, which I have thoroughly enjoyed. The Art park next door is really unique and don't miss the tile mosaic along the sidewalk.
