Members Showcase
The Lost Pines Art Center has art work throughout the gallery all year long. We change our shows every 3 months, and have multiple shows happening at any given time. We offer works from our growing Membership of artists from around Texas, showing 2 dimensional and 3D, or sculptural works. We also showcase select works in our group shows, online shows, and our Featured Artist exhibit. Admission is always free.

OPEN CALL FOR MURALISTS!
Minerva Delgado, a Mexican American Girl attending Mina Ward, a school exclusively for Hispanic 1st-7th graders, was denied the ability to attend an anglo school. In 1948, a federal lawsuit was filed on behalf of a group of Mexican Americans against Bastrop Independent School District to end segregation. The courts ruled in favor of the group which ended legal segregation of Mexican Americans in Texas.
The City of Bastrop is sponsoring a mural to portray the journey and lasting impacts of Minerva and this historic lawsuit.
The City is still accepting applications! Click here to see more:
