Arts and Culture

The Fine Arts are alive and well in Bryan, College Station and throughout the great state of Texas. From professional to amateur level there are many excellent theater groups, musical companies, orchestras, chamber groups, museums, galleries, artists and craftsmen. If any of these interest you, then you need to join our Arts & Culture group. One of the Women’s Club’s oldest interest groups, it was created to foster in its members an appreciation for and understanding of the fine arts by attending and supporting many artistic endeavors locally and out of town.

Get together dates and times vary, we have lots of weekend and evening events!
