Arboretum (Austin, Texas)

The Arboretum is an upmarket retail trade area in the northwest portion of Austin, Texas, centered roughly on the convergence of U.S. Route 183, Anderson Lane, Capital of Texas Highway and Mopac Expressway. Arboretum at Great Hills The 210,197-square-foot (19,527.9 m2) Arboretum at Great Hills was developed by Trammell Crow Company, opened in 1985 and is managed by Simon Malls. It is the heavily wooded park-like atmosphere that gives the mall its arboreal name. The Arboretum's first anchor tenant, which opened on Sept 10, 1986, was a 492-room hotel with 65,000 sqft of meeting space now known as the Renaissance Austin. The open-air mall features several open park spaces, and a Renaissance Hotel, among other commercial establishments. The park spaces contain a set of five cow statues by sculptor Harold F. Clayton. It also formerly featured a movie theater - Arbor 7 Cinema - that participated in the South by Southwest film festival [1]. The theater moved locations in 2002 and was replaced with The Cheesecake Factory [2]. The Arboretum was owned by Washington Prime Group from 1998 to February 2026 and by Asana Partners thereafter. Arboretum Market The 105,190-square-foot (9,772 m2) Arboretum Market opened across the street in 1987 and featured upmarket retailers such as the city's only Saks Fifth Avenue (now Trader Joe's) along with smaller specialty shops. The Saks space was previously a Simon David specialty grocer, which closed in December 1996 and was subsequently converted into Saks. The Saks was 52,000–55,000 ft2 in size, opened November 15, 1997, and closed December 31, 2012. As of June 20, 2014 the former Saks store was converted to Trader Joe's.

Armstrong Browning Library & Museum

The Armstrong Browning Library & Museum, formerly known as the Armstrong Browning Library, is located on the campus of Baylor University in Waco, Texas, United States. It is the home of the largest collections of works by English poets Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Additionally it is thought to house the largest collection of secular stained glass in the world. History The original collection of Browning works were donated to Baylor in 1918 by Dr. A.J. Armstrong. After the death of the Browning's only son Robert Barrett Browning and subsequent sale of their collection, Dr. Armstrong obtained a list of the items sold and their purchasers, and attempted to acquire the memorabilia via donation or purchase. Dr. Armstrong's collection was originally housed in the Carroll Library. The Carroll Library was heavily damaged in a 1922 fire; none of the Browning works were lost, and a special room was subsequently built to house them. However, by 1925 the collection had outgrown the space. In 1943, Baylor President Pat Neff donated US$100,000 toward a new library. Construction on the library (which would also house the English department) began in 1948 and the finished structure (costing US$1.75 million) was dedicated in 1951. The building was significantly renovated in 1995 to house an even larger collection (by then the English department had relocated) and refurbished in 2012.

ArtCar Museum

The Art Car Museum is a private museum of contemporary art located in Houston, Texas, United States. The museum, nicknamed the "Garage Mahal," opened in February, 1998. Its emphasis is on art cars, fine arts, and artists that are rarely seen in other cultural institutions. The museum's mission is to elevate awareness of the political, economic, and personal dimensions of art. The museum was founded by Ann Harithas, artist and long-time supporter of the Art Car movement, and James Harithas, former director of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., the Everson Museum of Art, Syracuse, New York, the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston and late director of the Station Museum, Houston, Texas. The museum showroom celebrates the spirit of this post-modern age of car-culture, in which artists have remolded stock cars to the specifications of their own idiosyncratic images and visions. The museum features elaborate art cars, lowriders, and mobile contraptions, as well as organizing a number of temporary exhibitions by local, national, and international artists, some accompanied by catalogs, such as a retrospective of the social/political, pointillist paintings by Houston artist Ron Hoover (1944-2008) held in 2010. and a survey of the work of artist John Atlas in 2014. The museum is scheduled to re-open in The Orange Show. Previously it was located at 140 Heights Blvd, Houston, TX 77007, which began operations in 1998. The Houston Heights location closed in April 2024.

Jones Center on Congress Avenue

The Jones Center on Congress Avenue, formerly known as the AMOA-Arthouse at the Jones Center, is one of two museum sites of the Contemporary Austin, the other location being Laguna Gloria. History The Texas Fine Arts Association (TFAA) was founded in 1911, with the initial purpose of maintaining the studio and collection of the sculptor Elisabet Ney, which is now housed at the Elisabet Ney Museum. The TFAA also helped to establish the studio art department at the University of Texas at Austin, promote the formation of a state arts commission, and found some of the state's major art museums. In 1927, the TFAA began a visual arts touring program that brought works of art to communities throughout the state. In 1943, Clara Driscoll deeded her Austin estate, Laguna Gloria, to the TFAA, which operated the facility as an art museum until 1961, when Laguna Gloria Art Museum, Inc., assumed responsibility. Until the end of 1998, the TFAA maintained its state headquarters in the carriage house on the property and held three annual exhibitions in the main building. In 1995, the TFAA's board of directors purchased the property at 700 Congress Avenue in Austin, Texas. Three years later, in November 1998, the TFAA opened its new headquarters, the Jones Center for Contemporary Art. In November 2002, the name of the organization was officially changed from the Texas Fine Arts Association to Arthouse. In 2010 and again in 2016, the architectural firm Lewis.Tsurumaki.Lewis (LTL) completed radical expansions and renovations to the property at 700 Congress Avenue. As part of the remodeling, LTL and the New York City-based lighting design firm LumenArch installed 177 LED-lit rectangular laminated glass blocks perforating the southern and eastern walls of the building to create a "glowing" effect. The building includes 7,000 square feet of exhibition space, along with a community room and a large rooftop deck with a 21-foot-high canopy for events and educational programming. In 2011, the Arthouse at the Jones Center merged with the Austin Museum of Art, and in 2013, it was rebranded as the Contemporary Austin, with two museum locations under its auspices—Jones Center on Congress Avenue and Laguna Gloria.

Monroe Stadium Bus crash On August 13th, 2025 (the first day of school for LISD) at approximately 3:15 p.m. CDT, one of the district's school buses crashed near the intersection of Nameless Road and Palomino Ranch Drive, carrying 42 students and the driver. The driver and 9 students were injured, and 2 students were airlifted from the scene. In October 2025, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) issued urgent recommendations following its investigation of the crash. The report found that while the bus was equipped with seat belts, 36 of the 42 students were not restrained. As a result, the NTSB urged Texas and LISD to implement enforceable seat belt policies. LISD has since mandated that drivers verify all students are buckled before departure. References External links Leander Independent School District List of schools
Artpace

Artpace (also known as Artpace San Antonio) is a non-profit contemporary art foundation located in downtown San Antonio, Texas that is free and open to the public. Founded by artist, collector, and philanthropist Linda Pace, Artpace opened its doors in 1995, and focuses on nurturing the creative and artistic processes of both established and emerging artists. Fostering opportunities for dialogue and social interactions between artists and community members of all ages has always been central to the various programs at Artpace. Once a former 1920s Hudson automobile dealership, Artpace utilizes its 18,000 square feet of industrial space to exhibit contemporary art in five separate exhibition spaces including: the Hudson Showroom the Main Space gallery and three separate artist exhibition spaces. There are also three furnished apartments for visiting artists and curators to use, an in-house archives and research library, a workshop, and other areas for special events including social gatherings and lectures. International artist-in-residence program Artpace is known for their International Artist-in-Residence (IAIR) program. The IAIR artists are chosen by a guest curator and the program invites nine artists per year to live and work at Artpace in three different four month cycles. Each guest curator selects one artist from Texas, one from the United States, and one from around the world to Artpace to create original works of art. Each artist is provided with furnished accommodations, 24/7 studio and exhibition site access, living expenses, a grant to purchase materials, and travel reimbursements. The IAIR program provides artists with the resources and support needed to create art without restrictions. Each residency begins with an informal potluck dinner introducing the artists to the people of the local community, and at the end of the residency, a curator/ artist dialogue is held in conjunction with the opening of the exhibitions to help viewers contextualize the work. Since 1995, over 250 artists from around the world have participated in the IAIR Program, and more than 80 curators have selected the resident artists. Former IAIR participants have gone on to receive numerous prestigious art awards including four Turner Prizes, nine MacArthur Fellows, fifteen Guggenheim Fellows, and over 84 artists have made appearances at the Venice Biennale and Whitney Biennial. Educational programs The education department at Artpace has K-12 programs, community programs (including Chalk It Up), U of Artpace (university programs), family day and adult programs. Chalk It Up promotes the importance of collaborative public art on the streets of downtown San Antonio. Each year, Houston Street in downtown San Antonio is transformed by the creation of original, non-permanent chalk murals by artists of all ages and abilities. The event facilitates informal learning interactions between the community and contemporary artists. See also Ruby City (San Antonio) International artists-in-residence References
