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, built to welcome travelers on the railroad. Since 1992, The Grace Museum has been a cornerstone to the revival of Abilene’s Downtown area as a welcoming center for the arts and community activity.

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

"Georgia O'Keeffe has always been one of my favorite painters, but photos of her are also captivating because of her unique personal style. This photograph captures her at a moment in time that allows you to imagine being in a casual conversation with her in her studio in Abiquiu. I love that this photograph frames her with some of her work, I also love the new perspective of seeing her work in black and white rather than the color that she is so well known for. Another small detail I love about this photograph is that you can see her "OK" pin around her neck that was created for her by artist friend Alexander Calder." - KelciCheck out our fantastic array of photography on view in our 𝘍𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘗𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘺: 𝘚𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 exhibition. ⁠#staffpicks⁠⁠IMAGE⁠--⁠Myron Wood, 𝘖'𝘒𝘦𝘦𝘧𝘦 𝘛𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘚𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘰, 𝘈𝘣𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘶, 𝘕𝘔, 1980, silver gelatin print, Collection of The Grace Museum, Gift of the 2022 Collectors Circle, with funds from Bill Wright ...

"I am usually drawn to black and white photography, and the details you can see in it. I have loved this photo since the first time I saw it. The way the artist framed the scene and where you are as the viewer is captivating. There is a sense of play in the work but it also feels very grounded. The way he chose to focus on just their legs makes you look at things in a whole new way." - Kathryn⁠Check out our fantastic array of photography on view in our 𝘍𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘗𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘺: 𝘚𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 exhibition. ⁠#staffpicksIMAGE--Elliot Erwitt, 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘠𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘊𝘪𝘵𝘺, 1974 (𝘍𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘹, 𝘎𝘭𝘢𝘥𝘺𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘙𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳), 1974, silver gelatin print, Collection of The Grace Museum, Gift of Bill Wright ...
