Eagle Pass City Main Street Program Director Joe Cruz presented an Art and Culture Center Program Project to the Eagle Pass City Council during their special meeting held on Tuesday, January 9. 

“We’re looking into opening an arts center in the downtown area,” said Cruz.

Cruz explained that the many art shows held in the downotwn area in past years has led to a need for such a place. 

“We found a building in the downtown area where myself and Mayor Ramsey. E Cantu began to develop the concept and idea to use the building for the arts,” said Cruz. “We want to foster local culture and develop it.”

Cruz explained that the project will be a partnership between the Eagle Pass Arts Council, Main Street Program and participating artists to develop cultural programs. The programs will include music, dance, painting, scultpure, photography and many other types of creative arts.

“The long term goal is to create an arts district as an economic driver,” said Cruz.

 Cruz gave a few examples across the region where such art programs have revived communities, bringing in tourism and interest, and assisting towns in economic growth. 

The Eagle Pass City Council approved the proposal and voted to move forward with the Art and Cutlure Center. 

The building will be renovated and is expected to be ready to open before  April.
