Austin Museum of Art:
edit Description
Reflecting the unconventional spirit of Austin, AMOA-Downtown offers informative and informal art experiences oriented towards the interests of a broad general audience. The welcoming and centrally located galleries serve as the Museum’s principal exhibition site and present continually changing exhibitions and education programs that showcase an array of twentieth-century and contemporary art. To complement the art on view, the Museum presents a broad range of accessible, interdisciplinary, and hands-on public education programs for schoolchildren, families, and adults. These art experiences include gallery tours, performances, talks, and opportunities to respond to the exhibitions. The AMOA Museum Store offers a wide range of art-inspired gifts, jewelry, books, and toys. AMOA-Downtown also features the Community Room, a place for activities and private functions with gallery access. As the Museum’s original home, AMOA-Laguna Gloria is a monument to our long-standing commitment to the community—offering a unique experience of history, art, and nature. Visitors can tour the recently restored 1916 Italianate-style villa that was the home of Texas legend Clara Driscoll. Inside they can view intimate art exhibitions and attend informative educational discussions focusing on art and nature. Outside they can stroll the lush 12-acre grounds overlooking Lake Austin and enjoy sculpture and the revitalized historic gardens. This beloved site has been declared a national treasure and is on city, state, and national registries of historic places. It is also home to The Art School, a thriving hub of activity with more than 400 classes taught annually where adults and children are encouraged to express themselves.
