Visit The Grace

The Grace Museum is a place for all ages to explore art, history and creativity. Our 1909 building was originally the Hotel Grace, and was built to welcome travelers on the railroad. Since 1992, The Grace Museum has been a cornerstone to Abilene’s downtown revival into a welcoming center of the arts, dining and family activities for this dynamic west Texas town.

We hope you will enjoy your visit to The Grace Museum and will return to visit often!

Cynthia Brandts (1924-2006) was a lifelong artist. She discovered her love of art at just nine years old after sitting for a portrait, and was enrolled in art classes within a year. She studied in Europe for a time and was greatly influenced by Cubism and geometry. She was part of the Fort Worth Circle of artists in the 1950s and was instrumental in the renovation of the Granbury Opera House as a scenic painter and designer.⁠There was hardly a day gone by that Brandts did not create art of some kind. She sketched, drew, painted, sculpted, or did print- or set-making nearly every day of her life for over 60 years. Come see her work in person in our current exhibition 𝘍𝘰𝘳 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘥: 𝘗𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘴 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘦, on view through September 21.⁠Cynthia Brandts, 𝘜𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘥 (𝘖𝘪𝘭 𝘕𝘰. 3), c. 1955, oil on canvas, Hardin Collection⁠#WomensHistoryMonth #femaleartist ...

Today is the LAST day to see Youth Art Month! Our last mini artist interview is with the very sweet Anayah. Her piece is a dancing, yellow wolf with a striped watermelon background. We are so proud of all of the young artists who participated this year, and we can`t wait to see what they make next!⁠
