It might come as a surprise to many new and long-time residents of Dripping Springs that we have many amazing art galleries in our very midst.
Many feature local artists who live in our neighborhoods, create in their home studios, and offer artwork ranging from acrylics/oil/ watercolor painting to jewelry, as well as sculptures, metal, stained glass and much more.
Whether you are looking for a $50 gift, ceramic bowls, yard art, a $2000 collectible, or an affordable feature painting for your blank wall, you can find it at Dripping Springs’ galleries.
Next time you have a spare hour or an afternoon, treat yourself to a gallery visit. Each gallery has knowledgeable curators happy to share artwork background and the artists’ stories.
Today we are proud to feature six fantastic local galleries:
