Celebrating Visual Arts

Our visitors created all kinds of visual arts, from chalk art masterpieces to painted ceramics, and forming clay into whatever their imagination decided!

Members of the Central Texas Pastel Society and the Center Art Club of Round Rock exhibited art inside of the Baca Center lobby hallways! Outside of the Baca Center, near the Make Music tent, there was a live mural painting with Avery O Design, creating a piece called “Birds of a Feather” during the event. This is a permanent mural. And if that’s not enough art, we also hope you’ll enjoy the Public Art that can be found in and around Centennial Plaza. Click here for an interactive public art map.
