From those who dreamed about and established the Art Center in the 1970s to those who are currently cultivating our vision and building project, there are certainly those who have much they could share about growth when it comes to The Art Center. Progressive development, evolution is one way Merriam Webster defines it, apart from the obvious idea of expansion or gaining in size, which seems befitting given our current goals to finally move downtown, provide accessible programming, and cultivate the visual arts in our Waco community. And, while growth possibly also implies a linear perspective of time, we choose to think of our growth rather in a cyclic, seasonal, and on-going continuum. We expect that our development may ebb and flow over time, but we hope that growth ultimately prods us to being open to the evolutionary process of overall development, whereby we continue to ask, “How are we providing educational programming and exhibitions that represent who we are now?”, and, “How are we helping our community engage on a deeper, more meaningful level?”. We are excited as we anticipate what’s ahead for us both physically and conceptually in the next year and look forward to encouraging dialogue about growth with our current Art Expedition exhibit. https://www.artcenterwaco.org/
