Visual Art Society of B-CS

For over 50 years, the Visual Art Society of Bryan-College Station has been fueling the creative heartbeat of our community! We are an all-volunteer, non-profit powerhouse dedicated to empowering local artists of all ages and skill levels—giving them the space, tools, and platform to dream, create, and thrive. Through vibrant educational programs, dynamic art shows, and annual college scholarships for aspiring young artists, we bring the transformative power of visual arts right to your doorstep.

As the Brazos Valley’s premier visual arts hub, we are the doers, makers, and creators who keep local culture thriving! Based out of Degallery in Bryan, TX, we give artists the ultimate launching pad through networking, hands-on teaching, and key marketing opportunities. From organizing two-three major annual art shows and showcasing work across local venues to participating in the incredible Downtown Bryan Street & Art Fair, we make art accessible to everyone. We even produced the Aggieland Art Trail—now featuring over 100 amazing stops across Bryan-College Station!

Whether we’re gathering for our lively monthly evening meetings or enjoying our "Lunch Together" sessions, our doors are wide open to artists, art lovers, and supporters alike. Your donation today directly powers local artists, enriches our community, and funds scholarships for the next generation of creators. Join us in making the Brazos Valley more colorful!
