Denison Arts Council was incorporated in 1980 with a mission to promote, encourage and otherwise develop cultural activities in order to serve the needs of all citizens through participation, exposure and educational opportunities.
In 2009 the Texas Commission on the Arts selected Denison Arts Council for inclusion in the 2009 Cultural District Designation Pilot Program.The action was the culmination of a decade-long effort by the Denison Arts Council. Cultural districts are special zones that harness the power of cultural resources to stimulate economic development and community vitality. These districts can become focal points for generating businesses, attracting tourists, stimulating cultural development and fostering civic pride. We are proud to be a founding city in this program has have had continuous support from the TCA.
Combine a friendly casual Texas feel with the excitement of a flourishing art scene and the result is Denison – “Small Town – Big Art!” The downtown art scene got its start over 30 years ago as artists began relocating to Denison’s Historic Main Street. For artists these large spaces with incredible character sparked an interest in the heart of downtown. In some ways Denison’s story is similar to other art communities. Along its eight block length, you will find numerous shops and galleries showing a diverse assortment of paintings, sculptures, stained glass, photography and ceramics created by regional and national artist.
