Description
Promote a cultural arts climate for the city of Laredo, Texas, an environment in which the artistic creativity of all people may flourish;
History
Local artist and art supporter Anne Brennan Vela and a group of dedicated citizens founded the Laredo Center for the Arts in September of 1993. Reopening the doors of the old City Hall in historic Market Square, the Laredo Center for the Arts brought back to life an historic building from the 1880's that was originally built to accommodate a market, a city hall, and a theater for the performing arts.
Established with assistance from the City of Laredo to promote the artistic creativity of all people, the Laredo Center for the Arts hosts a variety of artistic and cultural events, including international art exhibitions, dance performances, art history lectures, musical performances, and art education classes for adults and children.
